Drama Desk Award nominee Steve Rosen will join the off-Broadway company of Peter and the Starcatcher beginning Monday, July 8 in the role of Smee. Rosen, who took on the role of Black Stache in certain performances during the show’s initial run at New York Theatre Workshop in 2010, will replace Kevin Del Aguila, who departs the show on July 7 to star in Love’s Labour’s Lost at Shakespeare in the Park.
