Book by Timothy Allen McDonald
Musical Score by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul
Based on the book, “James and the Giant Peach” by Roald Dahl
Directed by Doug Wertz

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.

SHOW DATES: October 20-21, 27-28 at 7:00 pm October 29 at 2:30 pm

Season Sponsors: Richland Source, MT Business Technologies Inc., and WMAN AM 1400
