The Holly Springs Playhouse is proud to present a play adaptation of James and the Giant Peach. New and seasoned young actors are welcome and encouraged to enroll!
About the Play: James, after losing his parents, is forced to live with his cruel aunts, Spiker and Sponge. One day, he receives magical crocodile tongues from a mysterious man, which he accidentally spills near a peach tree. This causes a giant peach to grow in the garden. James ventures inside and discovers a group of talking insects who become his friends. Together, they embark on a fantastical journey across the Atlantic Ocean in the giant peach, facing various challenges and ultimately landing in New York City, where they become heroes and find a new, loving family
