When Silas Park’s girlfriend leaves him, he becomes a shut-in, writing intense autobiographical stories in his Brooklyn apartment. When literary agent Darren offers Silas a book deal, he finds himself on the verge of being the next big thing in Asian American literature. But the appearance of Silas’ adoptive brother Finn changes the story. This stunning new play from Carla Ching asks us to consider the line between identity and storytelling. When is a story truly autobiographical? When is a story yours to tell?

The ultimate prequel, Peter and the Starcatcher brings together playful orphans, marauding pirates, British peers, and jungle tyrants for an all-new adventure. Based on the novel by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson, this theatrically inventive play reveals how a young orphan became Peter Pan and met his arch-nemesis, Captain Hook. When unlikely heroes join forces aboard the Neverland ship, the characters learn about love, friendship and forge an unbreakable bond. Winner of five Tony Awards, this imaginative romp is a delight for audiences of all ages.
