THE PLAY
(From local Cleveland playwright, T Paul Lowry) In honor of ten years of shows, welcome back a popular TCT show. Captain Hook is a name to send delightful shivers down the spine of anyone who knows the tale of Peter Pan, and Tinkerbell. But have you ever wondered just how Hook came to Never Never Land with his merry band of buccaneers? This is the story of how Hook met Smee and came to be the scourge of “the Land of Pan.” All your favorite characters are here but get ready for some giddy surprises that will make you clap your hands with glee.
