South Side High School puts on ‘Peter and the Starcatcher’

Posted

Young thespians with the South Side High School drama club took audience members on an adventure across the high seas with its fall production of “Peter and the Starcatcher.”

Parents, friends and faculty members filled the seats of the auditorium, from Nov. 16 to Nov. 18, to enjoy this new take on a timeless classic.

“Peter and the Starcatcher,” tells the origin story of Peter Pan, who is at this point a young, nameless orphan boy with a deep mistrust for adults, and Molly Aster, a starcatcher’s apprentice whose father is on a secret mission for the Queen of England.

The story also provides the origin story of the villainous Captain Hook, his crewmates and Peter’s friend and fairy sidekick, Tinker Bell.
