Peter And The Starcatcher Postponed At Summit High School

SUMMIT, NJ – The audience's trip to Neverland will have to wait as The Summit High School Theatre Department's opening of Peter and the Starcatcher has been postponed. The show will now run Saturday at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., and Sunday at 2:00 p.m.

Tickets for the rescheduled Thursday evening performance will be honored on Saturday at 2 p.m. Tickets for the rescheduled Friday performance will be honored on Sunday at 2 p.m. Tickets are non-refundable. To exchange tickets for another date and the best available seat, email summitshstheater@gmail.com.

“We are incredibly disappointed to have to reschedule two performances of Peter and the Starcatcher,” said Summit High School Drama Director Anne Poyner. “Our troupe of hysterical storytellers is ready to take audiences on a sidesplitting, magical adventure. Please plan to join us on Saturday or Sunday with your friends and family for this wonderfully engaging production.”

Purchase tickets at showtix4u.com or at the door on the night of the performance. Ticket prices are $11 for students and seniors, and $13 for adults.

“Peter and the Starcatcher is a magical, swashbuckling adventure that upends the century-old story of how a miserable orphan comes to be Peter Pan, the boy who would not grow up,” said Poyner. “Our troupe of hysterical storytellers transforms into marauding pirates and jungle tyrants, unwilling comrades and unlikely heroes who playfully explore the depths of greed and despair, and the bonds of friendship. Please join us with your friends and family for this wonderfully engaging production.”

The story of Peter and the Starcatcher focuses on a young orphan and his mates who are shipped off from Victorian England to a distant island ruled by the evil King Zarboff. They know nothing of the mysterious trunk in the captain’s cabin, which contains precious, otherworldly cargo. At sea, the boys are discovered by a precocious young girl named Molly, a Starcatcher-in-training who realizes that the trunk’s precious cargo is starstuff, a celestial substance so powerful that it must never fall into the wrong hands. When the ship is taken over by pirates led by the fearsome Black Stache, a villain determined to claim the trunk and its treasure for his own, the journey quickly becomes a thrilling adventure.
