James and the Giant Peach

Collingswood Community Theatre is excited to present the story of James and the Giant Peach live on stage at the Scottish Rite Theatre, 315 White Horse Pike, Collingswood, NJ 08107. Its a great show for the whole family!

The story of Roald Dahls classic tale is faithfully told by James himself and the insect characters Miss Spider, Old-Green-Grasshopper, Centipede, Ladybird, and Earthworm. The play begins at the end of the story, when James and his friends are living in the giant peach stone in Central Park, New York.

A tour guide brings a party of tourists (the audience) to see this major attraction, and James and his friends tell the story of how they came to live in New York. The insects play the other roles, like Jamess cruel Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker, and the epic journey across the Atlantic is acted out with live action, puppetry and storytelling in David Wood's masterful adaptation.

Show dates are Friday, October 5 at 10am and 6pm and Saturday, October 6 at 10am and 1pm. All tickets are $10 per person and can be purchased on Brown Paper Tickets or at the door.

We'll be partnering with the Academy of Natural Science of Drexel University so you may see some creepy crawlies up close and personal.
