"Peter and the Starcatcher" is a play based on a novel by Ridley Scott and South Florida native, Dave Barry. The show has won an impressive five Tony Awards which should come as no surprise when it's considered that only 12 actors portray the over 100 characters featured in the story and much of the scenery and furniture featured in the scenes. It's a witty and exciting production sure to be remembered for years. The story is one of the power of the imagination and its lack of limitations or ends.
