The Medina High School Drama Club will present the Tony Award-winning Broadway play "Peter and the Starcatcher," based on the best-selling novels that reimagine how a miserable orphan became The Boy Who Would Not Grow Up — Peter Pan.
Performances will take place Friday, Nov. 14, at 7 p.m.; Saturday, Nov. 15, at 7 p.m.; and Sunday, Nov. 16, at 2 p.m. on the Medina High School Middle Stage. Tickets are $5 for students, $8 for seniors, and $10 for adults. The show runs about 140 minutes with an intermission and is recommended for ages 10 and up for mild violence and some loud noises.
The play follows a young orphan and his friends who are sent from Victorian England to a distant island ruled by the evil King Zarboff. Unaware that the captain’s cabin holds a mysterious trunk filled with magical starstuff, they meet Molly, a Starcatcher-in-training who must keep the substance out of the wrong hands. When pirates — led by the fearsome Black Stache — seize the ship, the journey becomes a fast-paced, comic, and heartwarming adventure.
Students play multiple roles in the show, but the primary cast includes:
Georgia Burtnett (Molly), Matthew Hetsler (Peter), Connor Rebert (Black Stache), Lilian Kearns (Smee), Dragan Bush (Ted), Cain Hoover (Prentiss), Mason Cooper (Lord Aster), Reese Goldmeier (Capt. Scott), Colin Graham (Bumbrake), Maya Becker (Fighting Prawn), Katie Gerber (Alf), Teagan Banner (Grempkin), Lucas Campbell (Mack), Sam Zeitvogel (Mack/Hawking Clam), Alex Bell (Slank), and Laila Patilla (Ensemble).
