The life of Peter Pan, before being the leader of the Lost Boys in Neverland and met Wendy, is the subject of "Peter & the Starcatcher", a new production by 91原创 Fine Arts School. The play details the backstories of Pan, Tinkerbell, Hook, and Mrs. Darling.

Peter Pan is the boy who never grew up and could fly. The cast and crew of the show will bring show about childhood wonder to the stage April 6 to 12 in the Chief Sepass Theatre.

It is 1885 during the reign of Queen Victoria, and two ships from the British Empire set sail on the high seas for the kingdom of Rundoon.

On 'The Neverland, a young orphan and his mates are shipped off along with a mysterious trunk in the captain鈥檚 cabin. On the other ship, 'The Wasp,' the fearsome Black Stache and his pirates take over to steal the treasure for themselves.

鈥淣ot only does this show involve ensemble creation and imaginative storytelling that evokes a sense of wonder, but it also explores themes of friendship, family and the meaning of home.鈥� said Sarah Fowlis.

She is directing alongside another teacher, Lindsay Mitchell. Together they are working with students in Grades 9 through 12, almost 80 in total, including a cast and crew of about 40, and more in student design teams from multiple classes who envisioned and then created the costumes and sets.

Mitchell said students have been rehearsing since September and are delighted to share this story of childhood wonder.

Peter and the Starcatcher is based on the children鈥檚 book by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson and freely adapted for the stage by Rick Elice.

Tickets are $18 for the show, but there's a special $10 ticket price for the dress rehearsal previews at 1 p.m. on Sunday, April 6 and Monday, April 7 at 6 p.m. The shows Tuesday, April 8 through to Saturday, April 12 are at 7 p.m. There are also matinee at 1 p.m. on Saturday. .
