BG OnStage 2021-2022 Season, opening with Peter and the Starcatcher!
Tony Award winning “play with music” that reimagines the origins of Peter Pan to feature local cast with 5 performances July 30 – August 1 at SKyPAC.
BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – Arts of Southern Kentucky resident company BG OnStage today announced performances of Peter & The Starcatcher, the Tony Award winning “play with music” that reimagines the origins of Peter Pan, at SKyPAC Friday, July 30th through Sunday, August 1st at SKyPAC. Tickets go on sale now through the SKyPAC Box Office. Peter & The Starcatcher is proudly sponsored by the law firm of Flora Templeton Stuart “For the Injured.”
Peter & the Starcatcher, winner of multiple Tony Awards in 2012, upends the century-old story of how a miserable orphan comes to be The Boy Who Would Not Grow Up – aka Peter Pan. It is a wildly theatrical adaptation of Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson’s best-selling novels, conceived for the stage by directors Roger Rees and Alex Timbers, written by Rick Elice, and with music by Wayne Barker. From marauding pirates and jungle tyrants to unwilling comrades and unlikely heroes, Peter & The Starcatcher playfully explores the depths of greed and despair, and the bonds of friendship, duty, and love.
Peter & the Starcatcher is BG OnStage’s fifth summer theatrical community production. The cast is comprised of local actors ranging in age from 9 – 27. Some will be appearing on stage for the first time, and some are currently pursuing their love of acting in college.
“We are all excited to bring this Tony Award winning theatrical production to life, and we are absolutely thrilled to be performing in SKyPAC for the first time,” said BG OnStage Artistic Director Elise Charny. “The recent creation of Arts of Southern Kentucky has afforded BG OnStage many new opportunities, and we are thankful to the community for their amazing support.”
