Shaking my head vigorously to snap myself out of the entrancement, my eyes drift towards the clock. It’s Saturday night - scratch that, Sunday morning, and I have twelve hours to submit my review of the play “Peter and the Starcatcher.” With a groan, I conjure up the energy to open my notebook, find the Playbill, and finally begin writing.

This is my life. Well, at least for seven weekends during the school year. As a part of the Cappies program, each member of a Cappies team must attend seven high school theatrical performances over the school year and write a review for each one; the best three at each

    On Thursday, October 15th, I saw a Virginia Repertory rendition of Peter and the Starcatcher at the November Theatre in Richmond. Based on a book by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson, the play was adapted by Rick Elice and was originally produced on Broadway. The play begins in a port in the British Empire where we meet the characters, including Molly, the spirited daughter of Lord Aster, who the play follows on her adventure and journey to becoming a full-fledged Starcatcher. Her father travels aboard the Wasp with a chest supposedly containing the Queen’s treasure and a crew of pirates. Molly travels aboard the Neverland with a decoy chest full of sand and three orphaned boys, one not even having a name.

    I would like to think that everyone is their own hero fighting their own journey. We hear the term hero a lot, whether we are referring to the people who put their lives on the line for the sake of society, or the people we believe that are our own personal heros who have affected our lives.

    I’ve always wondered why people with a little or a lot of power tend to treat you unjustly. I’ve experienced many times when people with power treated me poorly. There were times in school with teachers, in school with principles and even out in public places. When I experienced these moments they made me feel like there were something wrong with me or I was different. Also, it made me feel like I was different from others… but not in a good way.

    As the light began to fade, the shadows of the tree branches, begin to cover over the dirt path. As the boy, Caspar, steps he crunches on the dead leaves and fallen branches, he begins to hear the branches rustling as the wind whistles past his ears.

As he lays on the ground he looks to his right and sees an almost illuminating, crisp white stone, which roughly resembles the silhouette of a skull, but with an oddly shaped depression on the left side. He starts to stand up as he covers his hand with his black jacket sleeve as he wipes his face, to free it from the filth.
