‘Peter and the Starcatcher’

San Marcos Academy’s Theatre Department is putting on a production of "Peter and the Starcatcher," based on the 2004 novel by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson.

Performances are scheduled for Saturday, Jan. 18 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, Jan. 19 at 3 p.m. in the Robinson Christian Center of San Marcos Academy. Admission is free.

Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson’s "Peter and the Starcatchers" and Rick Elice’s theatrical adaptation each act as a prequel to the beloved J. M. Barrie’s play and novel. Each sets up the familiar story of the boy who refused to grow up — preferring, instead, to live in Neverland with his band of Lost Boys and be chased eternally by the pirate Captain Hook.
