James and the Giant Peach
Sierra Stages kicks off their summer season with the James and the Giant Peach. The musical is based on the popular Roald Dahl book and is an entertaining story for the whole family to enjoy. The play follows James Henry Trotter’s adventures from the orphanage to his evil aunts’ house to a magical adventure with give unusual insects.

You can purchase tickets online or if you’re interested in attending the Pay What You Can performance on Thursday, July 19th, please note that the box office opens at 6pm and the tickets are for sale by cash only on a first-come, first-served basis.
Words and music for James and the Giant Peach are by Academy Award-winning songwriting team behind the musicals A Christmas Story and the movies La La Land and The Greatest Showman, so this is a treat to have a chance to see the play in action in downtown Nevada City. The Outside Inn blog has 2 tickets to give away (for either July 20th or 21st show), post a comment here and I’ll announce the winner on Monday, July 16th. Edited to say the winner is Kathy Dotson.

I would love to take my 3.5 year old to this! He would love it.
Happy summer.
This looks so fun. My kids would love it!
Thanks for playing along, happy summer.
This was one of my favorite books growing up!
I think I should re-read it as an adult, I’m sure it’ll have a whole other level.
I worked for the costume designer for the movie. Would love to see this with one of my children at our beautiful local theater.
Thanks Leia, I didn’t know that fabulous detail… it’d be a fun mother-son getaway!
I heard about you guys through Scott’s flat lake, took my husband and daughter there for a fun day. Would love to take them back to Nevada City for this!
Sounds like a great plan! The play is a fun family friendly outing.
I love our community and it’s great productions. It woul be a treat to take a grandchild to this one!
Thanks Vickie! Happy Summer.
I’ve wanted to see this play so much and it’s my son’s 10th birthday on the 21st. That would be rad to take him!
