Lambertville — Peter and the Starcatcher provides a humorous and fantastical backstory for the beloved character of Peter Pan and his arch-nemesis, Captain Hook. The production is an imaginative play based on the New York Times bestselling novel by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson.
Music Mountain’s production opens Friday and runs on weekends through March 12. Show times are 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 3 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays.
Peter and the Starcatcher features a nameless boy and a precocious Starcatcher-in-training named Molly, who is on a mission to thwart the evil and greedy pirate Black Stache. Peter and the Starcatcher playfully explores the Neverland you never knew. “This is a celebration of youth and of the power of theater to inspire children and adults alike.”
Casting for the MMT production includes Riley Frankhouser as Boy/Peter, Suzanne LaGreca as Molly, Louis Palena as Black Stache, Jordan Brennan as Smee, along with Alex Klein, Cyrus Carter, John Fischer, Michael Gearty, David McCloughan Jr., Tyler Brennan, Jeff LaGreca, Roger Madding, Mike Prikril and Colby Langweiler.
