Wilson Theater Company Presents "James and the Giant Peach" |
|
Join our Wilson Theater Company for their second main stage production this year!
Performances of “James and the Giant Peach” will be held on Thursday, November 18 and Friday, November 19 at 7 pm and Saturday, November 20 at 1 pm in the Wilson High School Auditorium.
Here’s a quick synopsis of this fun musical production: After his parents are killed by a stampeding rhino, James Trotter spends time in an orphanage before being sent to the only family he has left, his aunts Spiker and Sponge. But his aunts are cruel and torment poor James mercilessly. Urged by a mysterious man called Ladahlord, James creates a magical potion in an effort to change his situation. But the magic gets away from him, and instead he creates a giant peach and human-sized insects. The aunts see a way to make money from this impressive fruit. However, the insects decide they have to escape, and with James, they cut the peach from the tree-- and their adventure begins!
