Gender: Female Age: mid teens to early 20's
Boy/peter A lonely and hardened orphan who doesn't miss much. Nameless, homeless, and friendless at the beginning of the play and a hero by the end. He wants a home and a family more than anything, and dreams of a life of being free. Gender: Male Age: mid teens to early 20's
Grempkin The schoolmaster of St. Norbert's Orphanage for Lost Boys. Mean and malodorous, he revels in keeping his boys in the dark and malnourished. Optional Gender: Male Age: 20's and up
Mrs. Bumbrake Molly's nanny, a stereotypical British cad and outfitted with the duty of teaching Molly about womanhood. She still has enough charm in her age to attract a sailor or two. . Gender: Male Age: 40 to 60
Bill Slank The vicious orphaned captain of the Neverland. Does not possess the capacity to lead anyone but himself, which puts himself constantly in disaster. Greedy enough to send boys to their doom for the chance of gaining starstuff. Gender: Male Age: 20's and up
Prentiss An orphan, ambitious, hyper articulate, and logical. He yearns to be leader, even when he knows in his heart that he'll never be one. A bit of a blowhard with a touch of cowardice. Gender: Male Age: mid teens to early 20's
Alf A seafarer, an old sea dog proud of his tenure. His kind heart gives him an appeal to the feminine sensibility. Gender: Male Age: mid 20's and up. Looking for someone over 5'11 for the role
Lord Leonard Aster Molly's father, a loyal subject to the Queen. The very model of a Victorian English gentleman, he is a faithful friend and a secret Starcatcher. Gender: Male Age: 30's and up
Captain Robert Falcon Scott Lord Aster's old school friend, the captain of the Wasp, Britain's fastest frigate. Lives with nautical bravura and heroic patriotism. Gender: Male Age: 30's and up
Ted An orphan obsessed with food. A natural performer with easy wit and quite poetic language. Gender: Male Age: mid teens to early 20's
