Blanchard Middle School Presents 'James And The Giant Peach'

Press release from Blanchard Middle School:

Nov. 14, 2021

Blanchard Theatre Arts will present its “master-peach,” a production of Roald Dahl’s James and the Giant Peach JR. beginning Friday, December 3, 2021. A delightfully offbeat adaptation of the classic Roald Dahl adventure, James and the Giant Peach JR. is a fantastical tale of a boy, his insect friends, and their amazing journey across the ocean on a giant piece of fruit.

Featuring music and lyrics by the Tony-nominated songwriters Justin Paul and Benj Pasek and book by Timothy Allen McDonald, James and the Giant Peach JR. is based on the beloved book by Roald Dahl and tells the story of a young orphaned child who finds a loving family in a most peculiar way. Sent by his mean, conniving aunts to chop down their old fruit tree, James discovers a magic potion which results in a tremendous peach occupied by some not-so-normal characters. From the center of the gigantic fruit, James and the unlikely crew launch a journey of enormous proportions. Together they discover that while we are all born into a family, we then go on to create a family of our own.

Blanchard Theatre Arts will present Roald Dahl’s James and the Giant Peach JR. on Friday, December 3, 2021 at 7PM and Saturday, December 4 at 2 PM and 7PM at the Katie Enos Performing Arts Center at Blanchard Middle School, 14 West Street Westford, MA. Tickets are $10 and may be purchased online or at the door. For general information, please email Karen Sacco (ksacco@westfordk12.us) or, for tickets, email Julie Ottesen (jottesen@westfordk12.us).
