‘Starcatchers’ set for La Jolla

“Peter and the Starcatchers,” a book about Peter Pan by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson, will be adapted for the stage in a production at La Jolla Playhouse next spring.

Under an arrangement with Disney Theatrical Productions, the play will be presented as part of La Jolla’s Page to Stage program for developing new works. During its run from Feb. 13 to March 8, audiences will be able to give feedback to the show’s artistic team to help them polish it.

Rick Elice (“Jersey Boys”) is adapting the book, a prequel to J.M. Barrie’s classic Peter Pan story, with Roger Rees as director and Alex Timbers (“Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson”) as co-director. Tickets go on sale in September.
