From Roald Dahl, the author of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," comes a story full of imagination. James Trotter, an orphan, is sent to live with his horrible relations, Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker. One dark night, a mysterious man gives James an unexpected gift: a bag of glowing, wriggling lights and a promise of magic. When the lights break free, something amazing happens. On the long-dead tree, a single peach begins to grow and grow and grow. Little does James realize that the giant peach will become a magical escape from his ghastly aunts.James and his newfound insect friends embark on an extraordinary journey that takes them halfway around the world. Along the way there are dangers and excitement, friends and enemies, music and laughter. Will James survive the journey and find the new life he longs for?"James and the Giant Peach" Performances: Feb. 18 - Mar. 6, 2011
