What happens when a timeless tale like Peter Pan gets a wonderfully modern twist? Join our conversation with the very hilarious and handsome Kurt Perry, the remarkable actor bringing Smee to life in a reimagined production of Peter Pan. Director Lonnie Price and book writer Larissa FastHorse have infused this version of the classic story with Indigenous voices and stronger female characters, creating a vibrant new rendition. Kurt shares his initial unfamiliarity with Peter Pan and his enlightening journey through rehearsals, working alongside a dynamic cast, including Nolan Almeida's intriguing portrayal of Peter and Cody Garcia as Captain Hook, adding a delightful layer to the performance.
Kurt also opens up about the nuances of his career in comedic character acting, emphasizing authenticity and freshness in his performances. From his rich musical upbringing to his professional evolution in musical theater and classical music, Kurt offers invaluable insights into his artistic journey. Furthermore, he candidly discusses his personal exploration of gender identity, embracing both "he" and "they" pronouns and the sense of liberation it brings.
