Spring Musical 2025
Roald Dahl's James and the Giant Peach is now a musical for the whole family to enjoy! Featuring a wickedly tuneful score by the Tony Award-nominated team of Pasek and Paul (Dogfight and A Christmas Story the Musical) and a curiously quirky book by Timothy Allen McDonald (Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka, The Musical Adventures of Flat Stanley), Roald Dahl's James and the Giant Peach is now a musical for the whole family to enjoy! Featuring a wickedly tuneful score by the Tony Award-nominated team of Pasek and Paul (Dogfight and A Christmas Story the Musical) and a curiously quirky book by Timothy Allen McDonald (Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka, The Musical Adventures of Flat Stanley), critics rave: James and the Giant Peach is a "masterpeach!"
When James is sent by his conniving aunts to chop down their old fruit tree, he discovers a magic potion that results in a tremendous peach... and launches a journey of enormous proportions. Suddenly, James finds himself in the center of the gigantic peach, among human-sized insects with equally oversized personalities, but after it falls from the tree and rolls into the ocean, the group faces hunger, sharks and plenty of disagreements. Thanks to James' quick wit and creative thinking, the residents learn to live and work together as a family. The dangerous voyage is a success, but the adventure takes a whole new twist once they land on the Empire State Building.

WELCOME TO YOUTH THEATRE COMPANY
Youth Theatre Company is dedicated to providing a creative and inclusive space for young individuals to explore and express their passion for performing arts. We believe in nurturing talent and empowering performers of all ages to shine on stage.
ABOUT US
We offer an immersive theatre experience. We use a 'learning by doing' approach where youth and adults are involved as performers or in other roles in one or two productions a year.
Our primary focus is on involving youth in the show production so they learn by experiencing the whole process. We select shows that include opportunities for those from Grade 3 to 12 to join adult performers onstage.
Participants will have two chances to be involved: in the fall show (Sept to Dec), the spring show (Jan – Apr) or both.
Our secondary focus is expanding opportunities for folks to experience all-ages shows locally. It is a great way to enjoy live theatre!
