TCC Theatre Presents Auditions For Peter and the Star Catcher Tulsa Community College will be holding auditions for the Tony-winning Peter and the Starcatcher November 18-19th at 7pm in the PACE Studio Theatre at Tulsa Community College Southeast Campus. We will be casting 12-20 actors of all genders, and the auditions are open to the college and surrounding communities. Rehearsals will start January 13th, 2025, and a typical schedule will be Monday-Fridays 7-10pm. We do work around conflicts, but no conflicts will be accepted during cue to cue, dress and tech week. Performances are slated for February 27-28, March 1-2 on the PACE Main Stage. Contact Mark Frank, the director at eat10@eau10eav10eaw10 for more information. The story of Peter and the Star Catcher upends the century-old story of how a miserable orphan comes to be The Boy Who Would Not Grow Up (a.k.a. Peter Pan). From marauding pirates and jungle tyrants to unwilling comrades and unlikely heroes, Peter and the Starcatcher playfully explores the depths of greed and despair… and the bonds of friendship, duty and love. A young orphan and his mates are shipped off from Victorian England to a distant island ruled by the evil King Zarboff. They know nothing of the mysterious trunk in the captain’s cabin, which contains a precious, otherworldly cargo. At sea, the boys are discovered by a precocious young girl named Molly, a Starcatcher-in-training who realizes that the trunk’s precious cargo is starstuff, a celestial substance so powerful that it must never fall into the wrong hands. When the ship is taken over by pirates – led by the fearsome Black Stache, a villain determined to claim the trunk and its treasure for his own – the journey quickly becomes a thrilling adventure. Featuring a dozen to twenty actors portraying more than 100 unforgettable characters, Peter and the Starcatcher uses ingenious stagecraft and the limitless possibilities of imagination to bring the story to life.
