Peter and the Starcatcher is the prequel story of Peter Pan. It’s part childhood fantasy, part musical, and large part comedy. We learn about the magical beginning of Neverland; we learn how Peter Pan transformed from a nameless orphan to the leader of the Lost Boys. We learn how a pirate called Black Stache lost his hand and became Hook. We learn about Tinkerbell, Wendy’s mother, and mermaids.
On March 29th Sophmores got to tour Northeast Arkansas Career and Technical Center to see the courses that are offered.
