The Emery High theatre department, under the direction of Neal Peacock, welcomed the community to the opening night of its production of “James and the Giant Peach” on Thursday night.
The show will continue on Nov. 22, 23 and 25 (Friday, Saturday and Monday). This rollicking show with a huge piece of fruit will start at 7 p.m. each evening and will be in the Emery High auditorium. Admission is $5 per adult and $3 for students with children five and under entering for free. The musical play lasts about 1 hour and 20 minutes and is fun for both kids and adults alike.
The play is directed by Peacock with Ammon Sorenson as assistant director and Marilee Cox as musical director. McKette Sitterud created the choreography while Melanie and Jeff Jensen designed and made the scenery, including the biggest peach ever seen on the Emery High stage.
