James and the Giant Peach: Sail away to uncharted lands with James and friends aboard an extraordinary giant peach. As James embarks on a magical adventure, he learns about courage, teamwork and friendship with an animated group of oversized insects. Experience Roald Dahl’s classic story as it comes to life in David Wood’s musical adaption of this family favorite.
The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane: Hitch a ride along the miraculous journey of Edward Tulane. Accidentally thrown overboard while at sea, Edward begins a fantastical voyage in which he learns what it means to love, the pain of love lost and the courage it takes to love again. This beautiful theatrical adaptation of Kate DiCamillo’s award-winning tale is storytelling at its best.
