Featuring over 50 Berkshire County and beyond elementary, middle and high school students.Based on Roald Dahl’s most delightfully offbeat—and poignantly quirky—tale, Roald Dahl’s James and the Giant Peach JR. is a fresh, “masterpeach” musical adventure bursting with heart, humor and imagination. When young James escapes his miserable life with his conniving aunts, a mysterious magic potion transforms an ordinary peach into an enormous vessel for an unforgettable ocean voyage. Along the way, James befriends a band of singing insect companions and faces sharks, storms, hunger and the occasional squabble, discovering courage, resilience and the joy of finding his chosen family.
Featuring a wickedly tuneful, high-energy score and a witty, charming book, this adventurous musical celebrates friendship and self-discovery through colorful characters and larger-than-life moments. Bursting with imaginative costuming and playful puppetry, this family-friendly production creates a colorful world where human and insect characters leap off the stage. Directed and choreographed by Kathy Jo Grover with music direction by Erin White, James and the Giant Peach JR. highlights BTG’s commitment to youth theatre and arts education—an imaginative, big-hearted journey that’s destined to become a favorite.
