Academy Youth Theatre : James & The Giant Peach, Jr

This theater program is for ages rising 6th – 8th grade.  Everyone who registers will have a role but there will be auditions for specific parts.  

About the Show : 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.

This camp will be double casted if we reach 50 students.  Both casts will meet at the same time.
