Dinner & A Show – Theater: Captain Darling

Ursinus College Theater and Dance Department presents Captain Darling

The Ursinus College Theater and Dance Department has again teamed up with The Collegeville Economic Development Corp. (CEDC) to offer another “Dinner & a Show” promotion featuring a feminist adaptation of Peter Pan called “Captain Darling.”

Where & When

  • Where: Kaleidoscope Performing Arts Center, Lenfest Theater (map it)
  • When: Thursday through Saturday April 4, 5, and 6, 7:30 pm, and an ASL-Interpreted Performance on Sunday, April 7 at 2 p.m.

What if Peter Pan isn’t the hero and Captain Hook isn’t the villain? What if something more sinister is happening in Neverland? What if the stories handed down to us tell only part of the story? In this dark, feminist adaptation of J.M. Barrie’s classic, Kate Isabel Foley reimagines the characters we thought we knew and takes us on a journey in which Mrs. Darling and Wendy must decide whom to trust and how far they would go to save those they love.  Note:  Not suitable for children. 

Directed by Dr. Meghan Brodie, Associate Professor of Theater.
