March 9, 2011 – The Off-Broadway Production of Peter and the Starcatcher Opens
“In relating the back story of how a sullen, skeptical orphan became the eternal boy known as Peter Pan, ‘Starcatcher’ celebrates the leap of faith that occurs when we tell and believe improbable tales.” – The New York Times
