Here are some thoughts on Doctor U from the Director, Mike Brown:
I cannot begin to tell you how excited I am for this show. And slightly terrified. Slightly more than slightly, but not to the point of losing motor control. First and foremost I have to acknowledge my writing partner, Logan Rogan. We both came into this process leaving our ego at the door. And that made things so very easy. Most of our ideas made it into the final script, and considering how many we had that's saying something.
There must also be acknowledgement of "Doctor Who." As it celebrates it's 50th anniversary, we get to send our little mockery of their work to all of the writers, directors, producers and actors who have inspired us.
Then there's our cast. A writer/director is nothing without those who would bring the characters to life. I've told this talented group over and over how much easier they've made my job. This is one amazing group of people who are set to entertain you. Laugh a whole lot so they know you appreciate their work. 'kay? 'kay.

Here are some thoughts on Peter and the Pirates from the Director, Eric Jensen:
Peter and The Pirates; This hilarious parody of Peter Pan is one of the most requested and beloved shows we perform here at the OBT. It is truly an adventure that has the youngest OBT fans in mind and yet we never leave behind our more mature OBT aficionados. You will see an angry crocodile, courageous lost kids, and a bumbling first mate. This play has been done in several theaters with child casts, teenage casts, adult casts, a mixture of all three ages, and has been successful at every single run. My favorite part of the show is when Mr. Atchmee gets hit in the face by water, later he is hit by Captain Crook & also, as he hits the deck time & time & time again! It's so funny! Come experience the tradition of comedy and the adventure that is, Peter and the Pirates!

Who is Who?
Many of you may be rolling your eyes and saying "A Doctor Who parody? I've never seen the show, so I'll be lost." Director Mike Brown says otherwise: "First and foremost... you do not have to have a working knowledge of "Doctor Who" in order to enjoy this production. As they like to say... there's something for everyone." If previous shows are any indicator, there will be plenty to laugh at without knowing a think about "Doctor Who" or science fiction in general, but in case his word hasn't swayed you, the Doctor U crew has put up a very informative page about the show to give you a quick overview to assuage your fears. The show promises to be phenomenal and the OBT always delivers.
