Academy Youth Theatre: James & the Giant Peach Jr

June 28, 2024 - June 29, 2024

  • « Makerspace Independaence Day Open Skill Share
  • Downtown Lynchburg Walking Ghost Tour »

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.

Shows: Friday, June 28 at 7pm, and Saturday, June 29 at 11am, 2pm & 7pm

Academy Youth Theatre Shows are sponsored by IWT, Foster Fuels, Tharp Funeral Home & Crematory, Virginia Commission for the Arts, and National Endowment for the Arts.

Tickets for this event are $6 – 20 and are on sale now.

For more information or to purchase tickets to our performances, contact our Bank of the James Ticketing Office at (434) 846-8499, or visit AcademyCenter.Org.
