James and the Giant Peach
centers around a child who
has been the victim of some
very unkind adults. In this
case, Aunt Spiker and Aunt
Sponge are the very
unpleasant relatives with
whom James must live after
his parents are eaten by a
rhinoceros.

Our hero is assisted by the
one adult who somehow
seems to understand the
trials and tribulations of that
child’s life. For James
Henry Trotter, that special
adult takes the form of a
mysterious stranger who
gives him a bag full of
unusual things: crocodile
tongues, lizard eyeballs,
monkey fingers, and more.
Despite being a rather
disgusting concoction, this
magic potion is just what
James needs to escape his
awful living situation and go
on the adventure of a
lifetime.

This is a show for the entire
family.
