After winning second place in the GHSA 7-AAAAAAA regional one-act competition with James and the Giant Peach, The Acting Troupe of Lambert (ATL) is thrilled to be bringing their full version performance of this title to the local community in early February.

Based on author Roald Dahl's fantastical tale of a boy, his insect friends, and their amazing journey across the ocean on a giant piece of fruit, this is musical for the whole family to enjoy! This delightful adaptation includes original music by Tony Award nominated lyricists Benj Pasek and Justin Paul and book by Timothy McDonald.

When James is sent by his conniving aunts to chop down their old fruit tree, he discovers a magic potion that results in a tremendous peach... and launches a journey of enormous proportions. Suddenly, James finds himself in the center of the gigantic peach, among human-sized insects with equally oversized personalities, but after it falls from the tree and rolls into the ocean, the group faces hunger, sharks and plenty of disagreements. Thanks to James' quick wit and creative thinking, the residents learn to live and work together as a family. The dangerous voyage is a success, but the adventure takes a whole new twist once they land on the Empire State Building.

For the second consecutive year, the Acting Troupe of Lambert has been invited to perform this show at the Georgia Thespian Conference 2017 in Columbus GA. The cast of James and the Giant Peach is excited as only twenty high schools in Georgia are selected for this honor.

Artistic Direction/Choreography will be under the direction of Lambert High School's Theater Department Director, Ms. Carly Berg and Music Direction under Lambert High School's Chorus/Music Theory Director, Mr. Ryan Wason.
