James and the Giant Peach

Gloriana Musical Theatre presents James and the Giant Peach, Directed by Nicole Atkinson and Carla Leach. Running October 5 – 21 at Eagles Hall in Fort Bragg

Featuring music and lyrics by the Tony-nominated songwriters Justin Paul and Benj Pasek and book by Timothy Allen McDonald, James and the Giant Peach is based on the beloved book by Roald Dahl and tells the story of a young orphaned child who finds a loving family in a most peculiar way.  Sent by his mean, conniving aunts to chop down their old fruit tree, James discovers a magic potion which results in a tremendous peach occupied by some not-so-normal characters.  From the center of the gigantic fruit, James and the unlikely crew launch a journey of enormous proportions.  Together they discover that while we are all born into a family, we then go on to create a family of our own.

“[James and the Giant Peach] is a little sweet, a little sour, a little edgy and sure to pique a child’s imagination” –The Seattle Times
