PETER AND THE STARCATCHER- CALLBACKS
Thank you to everyone who auditioned! We had some tough decisions to make. We are looking forward to seeing the following people read on Monday after school.
If you are not called back, this does mean that you will not be cast. We will not be able to cast all of the people that ARE called back either. As you can see below, there are some characters for which both men and women are called back. Women called back for Aster/Scott, Alf, and Fighting Prawn should play the role as a man. Some of the character descriptions have been updated, so be sure to read them again.
A note for accents for callbacks: Peter (Boy), Ted and Prentiss should use your normal voices with no accent. Molly, Brumbrake (or if you can do Scottish, even better!) and Aster should have upper class British accents. Grempkin, Sanchez, Mack, Smee, Slank, and Alf should have lower class, Cockney accents. Fighting Prawn should have a “tropical” island accent. Do your best!
(The “tropical” accent is a bit vague - we are also trying to figure out exactly what it means. Here’s a YouTube video of a Trinidadian accent that might be helpful - there are also a lot of Youtube videos of Jamaican accents. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8lr22QJ7ek)

PETER AND THE STARCATCHER
Characters
The Orphans:
Boy (Peter): A boy who doesn’t miss much. Nameless, homeless, and friendless at the
beginning of the play and a hero by the end. A survivor. More than anything in the world, he wants a home and a family. If he could grow up, he’d fall for Molly in a big way. But it’ll never happen. Played by a male.
Prentiss: Ambitious, hyper-articulate, logical; yearns to be a leader, even as he knows in his heart that he never shall be one. A bit of a blowhard with just the teeny-tiniest touch of cowardice. Played by a male.
Ted: Obsessed with food: the eating of, the fighting over, the dreaming about. A natural actor, an easy wit, perhaps a future poet. Called “Tubby” by Prentiss, though not due to girth, of which orphans, given their meager diets, have very little indeed. Played by a male.
The British Subjects:
Molly Aster: a true leader at a time when girls are mostly followers. Will risk everything for the sake of Doing Right. Curious, intelligent, beginning to feel things she doesn’t understand
– romantic longings that revert to childish tantrums under pressure – because, after all, she’s a thirteen-year-old kid. She’ll be a great woman one day. Played by a female.
Lord Leonard Aster: The very model of a Victorian English gentleman, loyal subject to the
Queen, devoted father, faithful friend. Also, and not irrelevant to our story, Lord Aster is a Starcatcher – dedicated to protecting the Earth and all who dwell thereon from the awesome power of starstuff. Played by a male.
Mrs. Bumbrake: Molly’s nanny. British to the bone. Still has enough of her girlish charm to turn a sailor’s head and leaven his dreams. Stiff in the lip, loose in the hip, fun on a ship. Played by male or female
Captain Robert Falcon Scott: Captain of Britain’s fastest frigate, the Wasp. Years later, he will lead an expeditionary team to the South Pole, freeze to death, and become the iconic British hero, Scott of the Antarctic. Played by a male OR female.
Grempkin: The mean and malodorous schoolmaster of St. Norbert’s Orphanage for Lost Boys.
Likes to keep his boys in the dark, as sunlight is known to feed rebellious notions, and on account of the preference in certain quarters for lads that are white and pasty. Grempkin is written to be a man but we may actually change the gender of the character to a woman. Regardless of the gender of the character- it will be Played by a female.
The Seafarers:
Bill Slank: The Neverland’s vicious captain. Without the skill or quality to lead anyone but
himself, and always into disaster. A greedy bastard who’d sell his own mother for a ship to command and send boys to their doom for the favor of those who would use starstuff for personal gain, global domination, or worse. An orphan, too. Probably played by a male.
Alf: An old sea dog. Something about him appeals to the feminine sensibility – might be his bowlegs, his saucy gait, or his kind heart. Probably played by a male.
Mack: A very bad sailor who wants to be anywhere but under the thumb of Bill Slank. Played by a female.
Black Stache: Long after everyone else got out of the pirate business, Black Stache continues to terrorize the seven seas in search of a hero worthy of his villainy. Famous for his face foliage, he started shaving at age ten, had a bushy handlebar by eleven, and the blood of twenty crews on his hands by twelve. Heartless and hirsute, suspiciously well read, partial to the poetical and theatrical, and given to a ferocity from which no good shall ever spring. Played by a male.
Smee: First mate to Black Stache. Single-mindedly dedicated to his captain’s every whim. His motto: “’Tis good to be busy.” Played by a male.
Sánchez: A hardworking Spanish pirate with an identity crisis. Played by a female.
The Natives:
Fighting Prawn: King of the Mollusks, son of Jumbo Prawn and Littleneck Clam. Kidnapped
by British sailors and brought in chains to England, he served as sous-chef in a country estate in Derbyshire, where, for no good reason, he learned Italian wines and mastered Italian cuisine. Since returning to his island kingdom, he vengefully murders any English with the temerity to land on his Mollusk Isle domain. Played by a male OR female.
Hawking Clam: Son of Fighting Prawn and Sweet’n’Sour Shrimp. One day, he will ascend the Clam throne as head of the Royal Clam Clan. Played by a male OR female.
Teacher: Formerly a salmon, now an ancient, knowledgeable mermaid. This role is traditionally played by the actor playing Mrs. Bumbrake.

Mack: A very bad sailor who wants to be anywhere but under the thumb of Bill Slank. Played by a female.
Black Stache: Long after everyone else got out of the pirate business, Black Stache continues to terrorize the seven seas in search of a hero worthy of his villainy. Famous for his face foliage, he started shaving at age ten, had a bushy handlebar by eleven, and the blood of twenty crews on his hands by twelve. Heartless and hirsute, suspiciously well read, partial to the poetical and theatrical, and given to a ferocity from which no good shall ever spring. Played by a male.
Smee: First mate to Black Stache. Single-mindedly dedicated to his captain’s every whim. His motto: “’Tis good to be busy.” Played by a male.
Sánchez: A hardworking Spanish pirate with an identity crisis. Played by a female.
The Natives:
Fighting Prawn: King of the Mollusks, son of Jumbo Prawn and Littleneck Clam. Kidnapped
by British sailors and brought in chains to England, he served as sous-chef in a country estate in Derbyshire, where, for no good reason, he learned Italian wines and mastered Italian cuisine. Since returning to his island kingdom, he vengefully murders any English with the temerity to land on his Mollusk Isle domain. Played by a male OR female.
Hawking Clam: Son of Fighting Prawn and Sweet’n’Sour Shrimp. One day, he will ascend the Clam throne as head of the Royal Clam Clan. Played by a male OR female.
Teacher: Formerly a salmon, now an ancient, knowledgeable mermaid. This role is traditionally played by the actor playing Mrs. Bumbrake.
