Manhattan Christian School Production of Peter and the Starcatcher is a very entertaining and hilarious adventure

Directed by Yvonne Kimm the play opens Thursday, March 27 to March 29th. Go see it - and get Goose Flesh all over.

Peter Pan, played by Sam Veltkamp, looks up as a tribe of island natives, the Mollusks, capture Peter and his pals (played brilliantly by Kimm and Bella Triemstra) in Manhattan Christian School’s adaptation of Peter and the Starcatcher.

Oh my! On Wednesday evening, I saw the final dress rehearsal for Manhattan Christian Schools’ production of Peter and the Starcatcher.

An amazing performance. I’m coming back to watch it again - it was fantastic.

Yvonne Kimm directs a whimsical show in which the cast wears their roles like a pair of favorite jeans. Set sail to explore the Neverland you never knew with this Tony Award-winning prequel by Rick Elice, which charts a course through Peter’s untold adventures. Kimm directs the young actors in a play that is a humorous, heartwarming ride through ambition, yearning, and the magic of friendship, where you will discover the boy who never grew up before he took flight.

Perfectly cast in each role, the actors took me back to the story of Peter Pan. Based on the 2004 novel Peter and the Starcatchers by Dave Barry (the sydnicated humor columnist) and Ridley Pearson, and adapted for the stage by Rick Elice, the play provides a backstory for the characters of Peter Pan, Mrs Darling, Tinker Bell, and Hook and serves as a prequel to J. M. Barrie's Peter and Wendy.

Lord Leonard Aster (played by Cavan Visser) talks with his daughter, Molly Aster (played by Cecelia Morrison) on Wednesday in the final dress rehearsal of Manhattan Christian’s Peter and the Starcatcher directed by Yvonne Kimm.
