Set Ever Anderson

[PETER PAN]
Lead Male (12 - 13) Diverse
The legendary leader of the Lost Boys and sworn enemy of Captain Hook, he takes Wendy, John, and Michael on a Neverland adventure after they help him catch his own shadow. Aside from taking Hook's hand in a duel, Peter represents everything Hook once had and lost -- laughter, joy, and life free
of rules. PETER will be any ethnicity EXCEPT Caucasian. Open on accent / nationality, though he likely won’t be American. Again, he should play like 12 or 13.

A rotund fellow with a great grey beard, Smee is Captain Hook's main henchman and servant.

[CAPTAIN HOOK]
Supporting Male (20 - 50)
Want dramatic/menacing/unhinged (think Jared Leto's version of The Joker) An excellent swordsman with a cruel gleam in his eyes, this ruthless, hook-wielding pirate is Peter Pan's sworn
enemy. Since Peter cut his hand off and fed it to a crocodile, Hook spends every day seeking revenge. When Michael and John take a spill in the ocean, Hook takes them hostage and uses them to bait Peter in at Skull Rock.
