Starcatcher Description:

Newton South High School's after school theatre program, South Stage, is looking for a dynamic and engaging director to lead our fall production of Peter and the Starcatcher. Our production will showcase talents of high school actors and designers with an emphasis on ensemble storytelling and creative movement.
