Don't Miss James and the Giant Peach! Don't Miss James and the Giant Peach!

HF Theatre invites you to their first show of the school year: James and the Giant Peach! When young James Henry Trotter discovers a giant peach growing in his backyard, he embarks on an extraordinary adventure with a colorful crew of larger-than-life insects. Filled with friendship, imagination, humor, and heart, James and the Giant Peach is a whimsical journey about finding courage, discovering where you belong, and turning the impossible into something wonderful.
