Celebrating the 50th anniversary of Roald Dahl’s beloved book, James and the Giant Peach, the Lone Star College-North Harris Theatre Department is transforming the story into a magical theatrical experience. The play will run May 3 through May 8, with an 8 p.m. performance each night in the Arena Theater (ACAD-142), of the college's Academic Building.

In the play, young orphan James is sent to live with his horrible Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker. Life is hard until a mysterious stranger arrives. Suddenly, magic abounds and James finds an enormous peach growing in his yard, containing some very unusual guests. Following the discovery, his remarkable adventure begins.

Seating is limited, so reservations should be made by calling 281.765.7963. The play is best enjoyed by those ages six and up. Ticket prices are $10.  Visit LoneStar.edu/arts-nharris for a complete listing of upcoming fine arts events at LSC-North Harris.
