No food or drink permitted.

About:
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. Join us for a playful show complete with whimsical costumes, creative set design, and one-of-a-kind puppets designed and built by artist Noel Williams for this outlandish and larger-than-life tale.
