The Acting Troupe of Lambert performed their one-act production of “James and the Giant Peach: The Musical” on Thursday 10/20. The musical, performed by the cast listed below, tells the story of an orphaned boy, James Henry Trotter, and his life after moving in with his only living relatives, his malicious, immature aunts: Spiker and Sponge. Through living with his aunts and having no one to talk to, he becomes friends with insects that live inside of his Aunts’ giant peach: Spider, Earthworm, Grasshopper, Centipede, and Lady Bug. The story is narrated by Ladahlord, who also helps to give James advice throughout the show. The ensemble helps to bring the story to life with extravagant visuals and dances.

The Acting Troupe had one performance of this show which was their preview for the one-act competition, which takes place this Saturday at Milton High School. Their show must be under 55 minutes to be considered for an award. Lambert will be performing against Forsyth Central High School, South Forsyth High School, North Forsyth High School, West Forsyth High School, and Milton High School, with a show time of 10:30 am.
