Peter and the Starcatcher
2017-04-05 19:30 - 21:30 | Western Illinois University, 1 University Circle , Macomb, IL, United States
April 5, 2017
Theatre: Peter and the Starcatcher
Time: 7:30 PM – 9:30 PM
Location: Hainline Theatre, Browne Hall
Description: Play by Rice Elice
Music by Wayne Barker
Directed by Alex S. Freeman
Tony-winning 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). A wildly theatrical adaptation of Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson’s best-selling novels, the play was conceived for the stage by directors, Roger Rees and Alex Timbers, and written by Rick Elice, with music by Wayne Barker. From marauding pirates and jungle tyrants to unwilling comrades and unlikely heroes, Peter and the Starcatcher playfully explores the depths of greed and despair… and the bonds of friendship, duty and love.

Starry Night Repertory Theatre presents a musical tribute commemorating the 100th anniversary of World War One, OVER THERE! chronicles “The Great War” through the songs and stories that captivated the world from July 1914 to November 1918. From the melancholy strains of “Keep the Home Fires Burning,” to the nostalgic “It’s a Long Way to Tipperary,” to the rollicking “Trench Trot,” OVER THERE! shares the courage, joy, and sorrow of an era that must not be forgotten.
