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.
Get your tickets today on GoFan and join us! You have two more chances to see the story come to life: Tomorrow, September 26th at 1 p.m. and 5 p.m.
Shout out to the cast and crew for the work they're putting in to make this month's production sweeter than a peach!
