Description: (Play) A 45-minute performance on the works of Edgar Allan Poe.
A hilarious and haunting two-actor play where enthusiasm meets ignorance—until Poe’s dark genius takes hold. A passionate literature buff, and a clueless performer turned obsessed fan, dive into the life, language, and legacy of Edgar Allan Poe. Through comedic banter, dramatic readings, and interactive audience moments, students explore figurative language, mood, and poetic structure using Poe’s iconic works like Annabel Lee, The Tell-Tale Heart, and The Raven. This script transforms literary analysis into a theatrically immersive experience.

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.
