James and the Giant Peach Jr. opens Tuesday, May 2, to school groups at the Arts Center of Cannon County. In addition to the shows during the week for schools on field trips, the Arts Center will host performances for the public on Saturdays, May 6 and 13, at 2 p.m.
Join James and his amazing adventure with a group of insects inside of a gigantic peach.
When James is sent by his conniving aunts to chop down their old fruit tree, he discovers a magic potion that grows a tremendous peach, which rolls into the ocean and launches a journey of enormous proportions. James befriends a collection of singing insects that ride the giant piece of fruit across the ocean, facing hunger, sharks and plenty of disagreements along the way.
The James and the Giant Peach cast includes Ella Bailey, Teak Brown, Jillian Jakoby, Ginger Levenhagen, Audrey Daniel, Zaden Dill, Maddie Brown, Laney Marlatt, Colin Totherow, Jesse Blunkall, Catherine Scott, Alexis Warren, Walker Bryson, Addison Hazen, Asher Olson, Hannah May, Caden Olson, Wyatt Olson, Elena Olson, Lili Daniel, Tanner Bryson, Savannah Tatman, Jackson Phillips, Sierra Tatman and Megan Jakoby.
