Heritage High School has put on some amazing shows in the past, but none that has instilled a sense of childlike wonderment like “Peter and the Starcatcher.” This tale traverses the seven seas and dives into the origin story of one of fairytale’s most beloved characters, Peter Pan.With the help of Wendy Darling’s mother, Molly, Peter is introduced into the world we all know as Neverland. Bringing this whimsical One Act performance together was no easy task, but the cast and crew of Heritage’s theater department encourage a challenge. Sets went up and soon the stage became a daring pirate ship. Lines were rehearsed and eventually a story unfolded. It is a story of friendship, perseverance, and memories that will follow the members of Troupe 100069 for the rest of their lives. As usual, the show was performed and perfected until it was deemed worthy to compete in the annual Region One Act Competition. Nerves and excitement filled the tightly packed school bus as the cast and crew made their way to Cedartown. Once it was Heritage’s turn to perform, the show could not have gone any better. The whole experience provided the students with exposure to other forms of theater, as well as ignited a drive to make the upcoming Spring musical the best thing Heritage High School has ever put on.
