AUDITIONS FOR PETER AND THE STARCATCHER
The Un-Common Theatre Company, in partnership with The Marilyn Rodman Performing Arts Center, is thrilled to announce auditions for our Summer Young Adult Production of Peter and the Starcatcher.
Tony-winning Peter and the Starcatcher upends the century-old story of how a miserable orphan comes to be The Boy Who Would Not Grow Up (a.k.a. Peter Pan). A wildly theatrical adaptation of Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson’s best-selling novels, the play was conceived for the stage by directors, Roger Rees and Alex Timbers, and written by Rick Elice, with music by Wayne Barker. From marauding pirates and jungle tyrants to unwilling comrades and unlikely heroes, Peter and the Starcatcher playfully explores the depths of greed and despair… and the bonds of friendship, duty, and love.
A young orphan and his mates are shipped off from Victorian England to a distant island ruled by the evil King Zarboff. They know nothing of the mysterious trunk in the captain’s cabin, which contains a precious, otherworldly cargo. At sea, the boys are discovered by a precocious young girl named Molly, a Starcatcher-in-training who realizes that the trunk’s precious cargo is starstuff, a celestial substance so powerful that it must never fall into the wrong hands. When the ship is taken over by pirates – led by the fearsome Black Stache, a villain determined to claim the trunk and its treasure for his own – the journey quickly becomes a thrilling adventure.

For all roles, please prepare a monologue in the style of the show. A list of suggested monologues can be found HERE. You can either choose one of those or select one of your own. Actors are encouraged to try a British accent with their audition monologue, or be prepared to play with dialect.
Rehearsals are scheduled on Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday evenings from 6:30-9:30 pm in Foxboro and Mansfield. Not all cast members will be required to be at all rehearsals. A rehearsal schedule will be made once the show is cast. Extra nights may be added as the show nears production week. Cast members are not allowed any absences the week prior to the show.
The production will take place July 17-20, 2025.
Production Fee: $400 for one family member, and $350 for siblings in the same family. This will be due at the first rehearsal. The production fees include a show t-shirt, professional pictures for downloading, and entrance for the cast member to the opening night party and the Sunday cast party. Like most everything in the past few years, our expenses have gone up, including our cast fees. However, we at Un-Common believe that theatre should always be accessible. As such, we do provide scholarships. If this is the one thing keeping your child from participating, please just reach out to the show producers, no questions asked.
