Jane & the Giant Peach 

Adapted by Richard R. George and Loly Lopez

(From ‘James and the Giant Peach’ By Roald Dahl)

Music by Randy Newman

 On April 28th, for one night only, do not miss “Jane & the Giant Peach”, a hybrid adaptation of Roald Dahl’s famous children’s book which mixes elements of the play and the Disney film! Marvelous things will happen when you watch the story of Jane Elizabeth Trotter, a young girl forced to live with her two cruel aunts: Spiker and Sponge, in a broken home in the south of England. When a mysterious man shows up one day and gives her a magical bag filled with enchanted crocodile tongues (ew!), giant peaches bloom from dead trees, tiny insects become human-sized talking and dancing companions, and wishes for a newer, better life come true, as Jane and her buggy family escape that dreary house on the hill to journey onward to the greatest city in the world: New York! This story is a hilarious experience that explores the infinite universe of childhood imagination, love, and newfound family.
