GhostLit Repertory Theatre Company, under the leadership of Artistic Directors Caitlin Teeley and Harrison Lang, is proud to announce its spring and summer 2019 season, featuring the regional premieres of Nicky Silver's absurdist dark comedy, Pterodactyls, and the Tony Award-winning play Peter and the Starcatcher.

Kicking off the season will be a staged reading of Nicky Silver's Pterodactyls, a play Ben Brantley of the New York Times referred to as "grimly witty" and "poignantly grotesque", follows the Duncans, a well-to-do family living on the Philadelphia Main Line, that seemingly have everything. That is, until long lost prodigal son, Todd Duncan, returns home and discloses that he has been diagnosed with HIV AIDS. What follows is a sequence of disastrous events leading to the ultimate demise of the Duncan Family. Directed by Harrison Lang, Pterodactyls will star Dana Harrison as matriarch Grace Duncan, David Joseph as patriarch Arthur Duncan, Caitlin Teeley as the hypochondriac Emma Duncan, Corey Bryant as her brother Todd Duncan, and David Bertoldi as Emma's fiancé turned maid, Tommy McKorckle. Featured as one of the shows in the recently announced TheatreFest at Saint James Place, Pterodactyls will take place on May 2 at Saint James Place at 7pm. Tickets are free with a suggested donation of $10.

Closing out the season will be the regional premiere of the Tony Award-winning play Peter and the Starcatcher. Based on the novel Peter and the Starcatchers by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson, this play, with a book by Rick Elice and music by Wayne Barker, upends the century old story of how a miserable orphan boy became Peter Pan. The show follows the young orphan boy and his mates as they are shipped off from Victorian England to a distant island ruled by the evil King Zarboff. They know nothing of the mysterious trunk in the captain's cabin, which contains a precious, otherworldly cargo. At sea, the boys are discovered by a precocious young girl named Molly, a Starcatcher-in-training who realizes that the trunk's precious cargo is starstuff, a celestial substance so powerful that it must never fall into the wrong hands. When the ship is taken over by pirates-led by the fearsome Black Stache, a villain determined to claim the trunk and its treasure for his own- the journey quickly becomes a thrilling adventure. Peter and the Starcatcher will be directed by Caitlin Teeley and Harrison Lang, and will take place from June 26 to June 30 at Saint James Place. Tickets will be $20.
