Peregrine Theatre Ensemble continues its mission to support thrilling new material and incredible artists with Catcher Suites. Conceived and developed by Kyle Pleasant and Drew Minard, this workshop will be presented FREE to the public on August 16th, 18th, and 19th at 7pm at Fishermen Hall in order to provide greater access to our theater community and those who love live performance. Seats are general admission and if you would like to register for a ticket you may visit the link below.

Catcher Suites: An Abstract Jazz Fantasia, is a coming-of-age suite of dances set to an original jazz score chronicling the journey to adulthood through the loss of innocence and confrontation of the world at large inspired by the themes and essence of a literary masterpiece. 
 
Kyle Pleasant director and co-creator of this new exciting work says, “The universal human truth that we all share surrounding the navigation of an ever changing world and our place in it is a pressure cooker during the formative years of adolescence. With a jazz score composed for this piece in combination with jazz classics we are making that intrinsic transformation dance, move and carve across an abstract landscape of memory, fear, angst, desire, discovers, beauty and hope. Drew Minard brings the talent and his incredible artistic energy to this one man ballet.”
