PETER AND THE STARCATCHER by Rick Elice, with Music by Wayne Barker
Directed by Amanda Marzo
Peter and the Starcatcher provides a humorous and fantastical backstory for the beloved character of Peter Pan and his arch-nemesis Captain Hook, in this wickedly imaginative play, we meet a poor orphaned child on the high seas. His world is turned upside down when he meets Molly, the daughter of a famous Starcatcher Lord Astor. From marauding pirates and jungle tyrants to unwilling comrades and unlikely heroes. Peter and the Starcatcher upends the century-old story of how a miserable orphan comes to be The Boy Who Would Not Grow Up (a.k.a. Peter Pan) and is a play with music, not a traditional musical that whimsically explores the bonds of friendship, duty, and love.
Female and Female presenting actors are encouraged to audition for any role regardless of gender in the description.
physical violence, mature language and content.
Black Stache
A notorious pirate, terrorizing the seven seas in search of a worthy
adversary. Heartless, hirsute, and suspiciously well read. Partial to the
poetical and theatrical, which causes him to behave quite
flamboyantly.
Age: 30 to 50
Molly Aster
A young girl and Starcatcher apprentice who is taken aboard the
Neverland as precious cargo. Curious and intelligent, she is only
beginning to understand the confusing romantic longings that come
with her age. She will risk anything for the sake of what is right.
Age: 16 to 25
Boy/Peter
A lonely and hardened orphan who doesn't miss much. Nameless,
homeless, and friendless at the beginning of the play and a hero by
the end. He wants a home and a family more than anything, and
dreams of a life of being free.
Age: 16 to 25
Grempkin
The schoolmaster of St. Norbert's Orphanage for Lost Boys. Mean
and malodorous, he revels in keeping his boys in the dark and
malnourished. Optional Doublings include:
FIGHTING PRAWN; MACK; SÁNCHEZ.
Age: 40 to 60
Mrs. Bumbrake
Molly's nanny, a stereotypical British cad and outfitted with the duty of
teaching Molly about womanhood. She still has enough charm in her
age to attract a sailor or two. Optional Doubling as TEACHER.
Age: 40 to 60
Bill Slank
The vicious orphaned captain of the Neverland. Does not possess the
capacity to lead anyone but himself, which puts himself constantly in
disaster. Greedy enough to send boys to their doom for the chance of
gaining star stuff. Optional Doubling as HAWKING CLAM.
Age: 35 to 55
Smee
Black Stache's first mate. He is single-mindedly dedicated to his
captain's every whim.
Age: 25 to 55
Prentiss
An orphan, ambitious, hyper articulate, and logical. He yearns to be
leader, even when he knows in his heart that he'll never be one. A bit
of a blowhard with a touch of cowardice.
Age: 16 to 25
Alf
A seafarer, an old sea dog proud of his tenure. His kind heart gives
him an appeal to the feminine sensibility.
Age: 50 to 65
Lord Leonard Aster
Molly's father, a loyal subject to the Queen. The very model of a
Victorian English gentleman, he is a faithful friend and a secret
Starcatcher.
Age: 40 to 60
Captain Robert Falcon Scott
Lord Aster's old school friend, the captain of the Wasp, Britain's
fastest frigate. Lives with nautical bravura and heroic patriotism.

SCHOOL OF ROCK, THE MUSICAL
Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, Lyrics by Glenn Slater and Book by Julian Fellowes
Directed by Amy Baker Stout
School of Rock is a musical based on the 2003 film of the same name. The story follows Dewey Finn, a failed, wannabe rock star who decides to earn a quick paycheck by posing as a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school. There, he turns a class of straight A students into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping, mind blowing rock band. While teaching these prodigies what it means to truly rock, Dewey falls for Rose, the beautiful headmistress, who also begins to see through him. In the end, Dewey is exposed, but his renegade teaching style has inspired his students to successfully complete in the Battle of the Bands.
Content Warning: mature language.
