Peter and the Starcatcher

June 14 - 29  |  University Theatre 
Florida Atlantic, Boca Raton

Directed by Lee Soroko

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. 

Tickets: Single Adult $27  |  Faculty, Staff and Alumni: $18  |   All Students with ID: $15  |  Groups of 9 or more: $18 |  Festival Rep Packages: Both Theatre Shows: $45  |  Both Theatre Shows and Swing Era Concert: $70. Purchase at fauevents.com or call 561-297-6124.

Xanadu

July 12-28
Marleen Forkas Studio One Theatre
Florida Atlantic, Boca Raton

Directed by Ted deChatelet

This Tony Award-nominated, hilarious, roller skating, musical adventure about following your dreams despite the limitations others set for you, rolls along to the original hit score composed by pop-rock legends, Jeff Lynne and John Farrar. Based on the Universal Pictures cult classic movie of the same title, which starred Olivia Newton-John and Gene Kelly, Xanadu is hilarity on wheels for adults, children and anyone who has ever wanted to feel inspired. Xanadu follows the journey of a magical and beautiful Greek muse, Kira, who descends from the heavens of Mount Olympus to Venice Beach, California in 1980 on a quest to inspire a struggling artist, Sonny, to achieve the greatest artistic creation of all time – the first ROLLER DISCO! (Hey, it's 1980!)
