The Cazenovia Jr. High Drama Club will present a production of Roald Dahl’s “James and the Giant Peach JR” during the first weekend in November. A delightfully offbeat adaptation of the classic Roald Dahl adventure, “James and the Giant Peach JR” is a fantastical tale of a boy, his insect friends and their amazing journey across the ocean on a giant piece of fruit.
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 JR” 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.
Cazenovia’s Jr. High Drama Club will present “James and the Giant Peach JR” at 4:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 1; at 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 2; and at 2 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 3, in the Cazenovia High School Auditorium.
Tickets are $8 and may be purchased by visiting the Cazenovia Fine Arts page and completing a ticket order form (with checks made out to Cazenovia Central Schools), visiting the MySchoolBucks Link also on the Cazenovia Fine Arts page or by calling 315-655-5309.
