Orinda Intermediate School's (OIS) Bulldog Theater proudly presents its fall spring musical, "James and the Giant Peach, JR," April 28-30 at OIS. Based on one of Roald Dahl's most poignantly quirky stories, Roald Dahl's "James and the Giant Peach, JR." is a brand new take on this "masterpeach" of a tale. Featuring a wickedly tuneful score and a witty and charming book, this adventurous musical about courage and self-discovery is destined to be a classic.

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, 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 production is directed and produced by Bay Area Children's Theatre (BACT) as part of their Youth Education Program. Caroline Schneider serves as Director with Sidney Spiegel as Choreographer.

There are two casts, comprised of approximately 60 OIS students along with additional 14 OIS students serving on tech crew. Performances will run April 28-30 at the OIS Bulldog Theater. The performance lasts approximately 90 minutes, including one intermission. For show time information and to purchase tickets, please visit www.showtix4u.com. Tickets are also available at OIS Theater one half hour prior to show times.
