James and the Giant Peach Jr.

One Stage Family Theatre brought “James and the Giant Peach’s” quirky story of courage and self-discovery Feb. 17-18, 2023 to the Elks Theatre and Performing Arts Center. James goes on the adventure of a lifetime after he’s sent by his conniving aunts to chop down an old fruit tree. A magic potion enters the scene and enlarges one peach until it rolls into a shark-infested ocean with him inside of it, along with a swarm of human-sized singing insects to argue and collaborate with on their way to New York City and the Empire State Building.

Creative costumes, puppetry and the irresistibly tuneful score performed by local kids made this the “peachiest” show Greater Prescott has seen for a long time!
