• Note: This camp runs from 9am to 4pm. There will be a 6pm performance on Wednesday 7/17 open to the public; tickets to that performance are $10 each and are sold separately.

We are so thrilled to be hosted by the Pascagoula-Gautier school district again, and this year for James and the Giant Peach!!! Students aged 7-14 will learn the ins and outs of live, stage performance with professional lighting and sound. We embrace a nurturing and supportive approach where all campers have an active on-stage role in the show, although we do welcome backstage campers who want to learn the ins and outs of costuming, set design, sound, etc - just please note that in your registration. This camp is always a highlight of the summer for our young patrons AND their parents. Carpooling from Ocean Springs will be available!

Show Synopsis:

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 possibilities for creative costuming and puppetry abound, and young actors will love playing the outlandish and larger-than-life human and insect characters.
