Upcoming Theatre Raleigh plays-
PETER AND THE STARCATCHER – June 11-22, 2025

Theatre Raleigh presents the Tony award-winning "Peter and the Starcatcher" from June 11-22, 2025. The Tony-winning play, based on the best-selling novels, upends the century-old story of how an orphan boy becomes the legendary Peter Pan. "Peter and the Starcatcher" playfully explores the depths of greed and despair and the bonds of friendship, duty and love. Though not a musical, this play incorporates musical elements to create its magical storytelling. This production uses ingenious stagecraft and imaginative innovation to bring the story to life. While "Peter and the Starcatcher" is not considered a children's show, it is appropriate for children ages 8 years and older.

ONCE ON THIS ISLAND – Nov. 12-23, 2025

Once on a Caribbean island, a little girl is rescued from a disastrous storm by four gods—Asaka, Mother of the Earth; Agwé, god of Water; Erzulie, goddess of Love; and Papa Ge, demon of Death. So starts the myth told in this breathtaking story of joy, sorrow and the triumph of love against all forces. Told with Caribbean rhythms and instruments, this Tony Award-winning musical is a testament that a beautiful story simply told has the power to inspire and heal all. The show is PG and appropriate for children ages 8 years and older.
