Fountain Hills Youth Theater Announces the Opening of JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH

Fountain Hills Youth Theater is proud to announce opening of the third show of the 2018-19 season, James and the Giant Peach.

A magical peach! An imprisoned boy! Insect friends! An incredible journey! This amazing adventure of James Henry Trotter will fulfill the fantasy of anyone who has ever dreamed of escape. Roald Dahl's James and the Giant Peach 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. You will see James (as he cleverly gets the Peach out of danger) and meet the wise Old-Green-Grasshopper and the pessimistic Earthworm. You will also see James' mean Aunt Spiker and cruel Aunt Sponge come to a suitably sticky end. This is a true family treat that you will not want to miss!

James and the Giant Peach is produced by Aimee Avery, directed by FHYT Artistic Director Ross Collins and stars Audrey Alcorn, Allison Avery, Brooklyn Avery, Azailya Bonnenfant, Danica Fritcher, Shannon Gyger, Rylee Holmes, Racine Homyak, Sierra McDaniel, Noelle Meylor, Adam Oberg, Paige Presley, Giselle Schmidt, Maggie Schultz, Demitra Sideris, Amelia Tomasello, Charlotte Tomasello, Isabella Valdivieso, Owen Washburn, Jackson Washburn, Brian Xi. Stage manager: Sarah Brown.

James and the Giant Peach will play Friday and Saturday evenings at 7:00pm and Sundays at 2:00pm from March 29 through April 8, 2019. All tickets are $12.00.

Technical aspects of the show are also supported by local youth who work both backstage and in the light and sound booth.
