Theater Audition for "Peter and the Starcatcher" Play
ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. Seeking performers for "Peter and the Starcatcher" play. See the details below. About the play: Peter and the Starcatcher is a fantastical, Olivier and Tony-winning prequel to Peter Pan. It follows an unnamed, mistreated orphan boy and a precocious girl named Molly who team up to protect a trunk of magical “starstuff” from falling into the hands of the ruthless pirate, Black Stache. With singing mermaids, blundering pirates, shipwrecks onstage, flying cats, and a handful of lost boys, Peter and the Starcatcher is a hilarious, magical adventure! Additional information: Rehearsals will be primarily Monday and Thursday evenings, and Sunday afternoons. As we get close to the show dates (late January) rehearsals will increase as we move into Tech Week. A complete schedule will be provided upon casting. Headshots and resumes are recommended, but not required. Prior to your audition, you will be sent an online form for completion to gather more information, including your headshot, resume, and any potential conflict dates you have within the rehearsal and performance schedule. You will also be sent Audition Sides at that time. Performance Dates: February 10-20, 2027. CALL-BACKS (if needed): TBD. If you're interested, please apply.
