The Des Moines Community Playhouse production of James and the Giant Peach comes to life in the Kate Goldman Children's Theatre, Jan. 3-19, 2020.

A magical peach! An imprisoned boy! Giant talking insects! The incredible tale of James Henry Trotter will fulfill the fantasy of anyone who has ever dreamed of escaping to a new and exciting world. 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. James and the Giant Peach is high adventure for the whole family!

The Playhouse cast, under the direction of Nicholas Amundson, includes Samantha Beard, Michael Bundy II, Ben Clark, Silas Erwin, Taylor Gloden, Fisher Grove, Julie Howland, Gbomi Kayode, Carson Klein, Andrew Lee, Kerrie Lee, Kristina Linnane, Erin Morris, Aaron Price, Nash Roe, Mia Scholl, Rachel Talley, and Oscar Tjeerdsma.

The Playhouse is one of the oldest and largest community theatres in the US. Located at the 42nd Street exit of I-235, the theatre has presented a full season of shows since 1919 and also offers a wide variety of educational experiences including classes for ages 4 to adult, theatre trips to New York, and volunteer opportunities onstage and backstage.
