Seeking Kids For "James and the Giant Peach" Play

ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. Seeking students in grades PreK through 12 this school year for Jr. Troupe Spring 2026 Play: "James and the Giant Peach!" See the details below. About the project: A magical peach! An imprisoned boy! Insect friends! An incredible journey! This amazing adventure of James Henry Trotter will fulfill the fantasy of anyone who has ever dreamed of escape. Roald Dahl’s story comes hilariously to life in this delightful dramatization that reveals the wickedness of some, the goodness of others, and the indecision encountered by many when they are faced with crises. You will see James (as he cleverly gets the Peach out of danger), the wise Old-Green-Grasshopper and the pessimistic Earthworm. You will also see James’ mean Aunt Spiker and cruel Aunt Sponge come to a suitably sticky end. Additional info: Please note that the fee applies. There are three ways for students to participate onstage in James and the Giant Peach: - Jr. Companies – All students in grades PreK-K and 1-2, performing in a couple of scenes in the main play as Jr. Ensemble, as well as a pre-show storybook drama!
