WHAT IS PETER AND THE STARCATCHER?

Before Peter Pan could fly, before he met Wendy, and before he became the boy who never grew up, there was a whole other adventure waiting to be told!

Peter and the Starcatcher is a Tony Award-winning play based on the novel by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson. It serves as a prequel to J.M. Barrie’s beloved story of Peter Pan, exploring the origins of Peter, Captain Hook, Tinker Bell, and the magical world of Neverland. Along the way, audiences discover the power of friendship, the pull of adventure, and the origins of a timeless legend. 🏴‍☠️🧜🏼‍♀️⭐️

And if this story sparks your curiosity, our friends at the Clark County Public Library have put together a special reading list for anyone who wants to explore these literary connections even further! Check it out here: https://ccplohio.bibliocommons.com/v2/list/display/1700613729/3141299857
