Photo Flash: Sierra Stages Presents ROALD DAHL'S JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH At The Historic Nevada Theatre

This summer, Sierra Stages is proud to present the musical "Roald Dahl's James and the Giant Peach" featuring words and music by the Tony and Academy Award-winning songwriting team of Benj Pasek and Justin Paul and book by Timothy Allen McDonald, based on the book "James and the Giant Peach" by Roald Dahl. "Roald Dahl's James and the Giant Peach" plays for four weekends only from July 12 through August 4 at the historic Nevada Theatre in Nevada City.

"Roald Dahl's James and the Giant Peach" is guaranteed to mesmerize theatregoers of all ages. In this compelling story by beloved author Roald Dahl ("Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", "Matilda"), a young orphan named James accidentally drops magic crystals by an old peach tree, and strange things start to happen. James soon discovers a world of magic and adventure full of friendly insects and learns that love and family can be found in unexpected places.

The Sierra Stages production of "Roald Dahl's James and the Giant Peach" is directed by Robert Rossman, with music direction by Ken Getz. Scenic and puppet design is by Teresa Shea, lighting design is by Erin Beatie and Devin Cameron Jewett, and costume design is by Leslie Dilloway. The all-local Nevada County cast includes Bren Altenbach, Micah Cone, Kate Haight, Darrell Hovander, Tina Marie Kelley, Susan Mason, Danny McCammon, Dawn Simmons, Angela Williams, ?Audrey Delgado, Katie Dorland, Triston Druktenis, Vicki Goss, Jozi Gullickson, Reyn Smith, Mimi Vishoot, and Jasper Waters. As with all Sierra Stages productions, "Roald Dahl's James and the Giant Peach" will feature a live theatre orchestra.
