Junior Musical Productions
James and the Giant Peach Jr (Wednesdays 4:30-6:30 starting Sept 3)
Based on one of Roald Dahl’s most poignantly quirky stories, Roald Dahl's James and the Giant Peach JR. is a brand new take on this "masterpeach" of a tale. Featuring a wickedly tuneful score and a witty and charming book, this adventurous musical about courage and self-discovery is destined to be a classic.
When James is sent by his conniving aunts to chop down their old fruit tree, he discovers a magic potion that grows a tremendous peach, rolls into the ocean and launches a journey of enormous proportions. James befriends a collection of singing insects that ride the giant piece of fruit across the ocean, facing hunger, sharks and plenty of disagreements along the way. Age requirement: 2nd-7th grade. Wednesdays 4:30-6:30 and some Sundays closer to showtime. Show dates Jan 23-25. Must be available for tech week Jan 18-22. Venue TBD. $495 plus cast tshirt.
