Peter and the Starcatcher
August 5 – 7
Tony-winning Peter and the Starcatcher upends J.M. Barrie’s century-old story of how a miserable orphan came to be The Boy Who Would Not Grow Up.
Giving our young actors the opportunity to portray more than 100 unforgettable characters. Peter and the Starcatcher utilizes ingenious stagecraft and the limitless possibilities of imagination to bring this dazzling story to life.
Theatre Aspen Education offers a variety of high-value programs to all ages, featuring industry professionals as teachers, directors, designers and more, teaching skills and providing opportunities to students that will build their skills and enrich their lives.
We also want to ensure that our programs are within the reach of any student who wants to participate, and Theatre Aspen Education proudly has never turned a student away due to financial need.
In order to achieve this, Theatre Aspen Education offers need-based scholarships, payment plans and work/study opportunities to students and their parents.
Scholarships are generously underwritten by sponsors and donors, including Juliet Shield-Taylor and the Robins Foundation, Nancy Blank, and Jackie and Jerry Kehle. Scholarship recipients are required to write thank-you notes, and parents are strongly encouraged to support Theatre Aspen School through their volunteer time and efforts.
If you are in need of a scholarship or payment plan, please email elissa@theatreaspen.org for information on how to apply.
Payment plans are available and Work study opportunities may be available depending on the time of season and our current needs.
