Show Description: 
Based on one of Roald Dahl’s most poignantly quirky stories, Roald Dahl’s James and the Giant Peach JR. is a brand-new take on this “masterpeach” of a tale.  Featuring a wickedly tuneful score and a witty and charming book, this adventurous musical about courage and self-discovery is destined to be a classic.  When James is sent by his conniving aunts to chop down their old fruit tree, he discovers a magic potion that grows a tremendous peach, rolls into the ocean and launches a journey of enormous proportions. James befriends a collection of singing insects that ride the giant piece of fruit across the ocean, facing hunger, sharks and plenty of disagreements along the way.

Who Can Audition:
Roald Dahl’s James and the Giant Peach Jr. is intended for youth ages 6-18. You do not have to be a CTH member to audition, but if you are cast, we do require that you become a member. And, while experience may be helpful, the Community Theatre of Howell does not require this. All we ask is your commitment to help make James and the Giant Peach Jr. the same high quality show that CTH strives to provide the community in all its efforts. CTH reserves the right to cast outside of the listed parameters depending on the auditions.

NOTE: Audition only for the role in which you are most interested, you may list any additional roles you would consider on your audition form.  You may only audition one time.  You will be considered for all roles you list.

Be available for callback time at 1 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 2.
