The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire's music and theatre arts department will once again bring the stage adaptation of Roald Dahl's book of poems, "James and The Giant Peach," to the Haas Fine Arts Center (121 Water St., Eau Claire) on campus.

The university production debuted its first performance of the year at 7:30pm on Friday, April 24; the show will continue through Sunday, May 3.

In the production, James faces an unimaginable sequence of adventures as he befriends neighboring insects – Centipede, Earthworm, Grasshopper, Ladybird and Spider – whilst inside of a magically enchanted peach.

Cast and crew of "James and The Giant Peach" are largely students of the same theater program. This year, the production has welcomed the addition of original compositions by Tim Davis, a UW-Eau Claire student and Chippewa Valley jazz pianist.
