A madcap adaptation of Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson’s best-selling novel, Peter and the Starcatcher is a play with music that humorously explores the bonds of friendship, duty, and love. The play serves as a prequel to the tale of Peter Pan, providing a backstory for the characters of Mrs. Darling, Tinker Bell, Captain Hook, Peter Pan, and more. The ensemble cast will work together to bring analog-style theatrical magic, physicality, and creativity to the stage.
WHAT TO PREPARE
Prepare one or two of these monologues from the show. You might also be asked to read from the script. Those auditioning for the roles of Molly, Mrs. Bumbrake, Black Stache, Alf, Teacher and Smee should additionally prepare 16 bars of a musical theater song. Others may be asked to sing at a callback.
CASTING NOTES
The imaginative theme of the play allows for wide age ranges, however, please note that you must be at least 14 by May 31, 2022, to audition. This play contains mature humor. The characters Prentiss, Peter, Molly, and Ted are in their early teen years, but may be played by adults. Roles open to all ethnicities.
This ensemble cast also portrays narrators, mermaids, pirates, sailors, islanders and various other creatures, locations, and people throughout the show. Some of these might be picked up by additional actors – to be determined during the auditions.

Bright Star
2022-03-04 19:30 | Northfield Arts Guild Theater, 411 West Third Street, Northfield, MN, 55057
March 4-20, 2022
Inspired by a true story and featuring the Tony®-nominated score by Steve Martin and Edie Brickell, Broadway’s Bright Star tells a sweeping tale of love and redemption set against the rich backdrop of the American South in the 1920s and ’40s. When literary editor Alice Murphy meets a young soldier just home from World War II, he awakens her longing for the child she once lost. Haunted by their unique connection, Alice sets out on a journey to understand her past—and what she finds has the power to transform both of their lives. With beautiful melodies and powerfully moving characters, the story unfolds as a rich tapestry of deep emotion. An uplifting theatrical journey that holds you tightly in its grasp, Bright Star is as refreshingly genuine as it is daringly hopeful.

Native Gardens

May 6-15, 2022
Gardens and cultures clash, turning friendly neighbors into feuding enemies in this hilarious comedy of good intentions and bad manners. Native Gardens’ playwright, Karen Zacarías, is a core founder of the Latinx Theatre Commons – a large national organization of artists seeking to update the American narrative with the stories of Latinos. Pablo, a high-powered lawyer, and doctoral candidate Tania, his very pregnant wife, are realizing the American dream when they purchase a house next door to community stalwarts Virginia and Frank. But a disagreement over a long-standing fence line soon spirals into an all-out war of taste, class, privilege, and entitlement. The hilarious results guarantee no one comes out smelling like a rose. Cincinnati.com describes the show as “skillful comedy… bright and witty and clever.”.

Peter and the Starcatcher
2022-07-15 19:30 | Northfield Arts Guild Theater, 411 West Third Street, Northfield, MN, 55057
July 15-24, 2022
Tony-winning Peter and the Starcatcher upends the century-old tale of how a miserable orphan comes to be The Boy Who Would Not Grow Up (a.k.a. Peter Pan). This is the story of what happened before Peter Pan met Wendy. 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. Featuring a dozen actors portraying more than 100 unforgettable characters, Peter and the Starcatcher uses ingenious stagecraft and the limitless possibilities of imagination to bring the story to life. 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.

We believe that theater should be silly and honest, and while performing can be vulnerable, it can also be great fun! Our workshops are about connecting to the people who you’re performing with and building confidence on stage. This workshop is relevant for actors, dancers, performers of any kind, or anyone looking to explore their creativity as a moving body.
at the Guild Art Studio 304 Division Street South in Northfield, MN
