Kenyon College Dance, Drama & Cinema Club (KCDC) presents a production of "Peter and the Starcatcher" by Rick Elice, directed by Visiting Assistant Professor of Drama Matthew Singletary, Jan. 29 - 31, 2026, in the Bolton Theater. Admission is free and seating is first come, first served.
A precocious young girl follows her father across the sea on a mission from Queen Victoria of England. When her ship is captured by pirates, Molly enlists the help of a young orphan boy and his mates to protect a secret shipment of Starstuff — a celestial substance so powerful that it must never fall into the wrong hands. Pursued by the evil pirate Black Stache, the young friends embark on a thrilling island adventure that will test the limits of bravery, friendship and duty — and which will give rise to the heroic Boy Who Would Not Grow Up. Join us for this family-friendly, Tony Award-winning reimagining of the legend of Peter Pan.
Please contact Kris Conant at 740-427-5557 at least 24 hours in advance with any accessibility questions.
There will be a talkback session following the production on Monday, Feb. 2, from noon-1 p.m. in the Peirce Pub. All are welcome to attend.
"Peter and the Starcatcher" is a play by Rick Elice, based on the novel by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson, with music by Wayne Barker. Originally produced on Broadway by Nancy Nagel Gibbs, Greg Schaffert, Eva Price, Tom Smedes, and Disney Theatrical Productions.
