Wild Card Peter Pan
by Communication by Captivation
Feb. 01
Step into Austin’s most unique and inviting kava Venue—SquareRut Kava Bar—reimagined as a vibrant gateway to Neverland, filled with wonder, mischief, and adventurous whimsy! Communication By Captivation is thrilled to present Wild Card Peter Pan, running March 5th through March 14th, 2026. These playful, off-the-wall productions take classic tales on daring detours—blending bold performances with unpredictable Cards inserted by the audience themselves. From pirate ships to mermaid lagoons, our actors bring iconic characters to life—only to be thrown off course by outrageous curveballs and improvised chaos. It’s pure imagination. It’s game night with a twist. It’s a Neverland adventure you won’t forget.
Directed by Avery Cline.

For instance, if Peter has just taught Wendy to fly:
“Think happy thoughts, Wendy! You’re flying!!!”
“P-Peter?? I feel… I feel… I—”
Wendy Draws Card
“A stack of pancakes… Peter, I feel the warm syrupy goodness of pancakes lifting me up in the air!”
"Any happy thoughts work, Wendy!"

*All actors will receive a percentage of profits from ticket sales, as well as a share of tips, donations, and other "pay-to-play" contributions collected during performances, with compensation determined by their track and scene count. Additionally, each actor will be provided with a unique promo code that splits ticket revenue between CBC and the assigned actor while offering ticket buyers a discount. This payment structure ensures that every cast member is fairly rewarded for their contributions while promoting collaboration and support within the team.*
Preproduction Rehearsals:
Rehearsals will take place over three weeks. Performers can expect a total of 33 hours of preproduction rehearsal per production. Actor availability will be carefully considered when designing the schedule, and conflicts shared during auditions will be factored into the casting process. Each cast member is allowed one emergency conflict with the rehearsal date schedule after it has been published. Anything after that is automatic removal from the production.

While we have minimum Tech for this production, we will run the show on site at the venues utilizing all the elements necessary for performances. Performers can expect a total of 12 hours of Tech rehearsal per production. Being on site for these performances are mandatory. Failure to appear will lead to immediate contract termination.

In the event of inclement weather, we will find alternatives to perform. We do everything in our power to not cancel performances. Being on site for these performances are mandatory.
