“Song-Optional” Musical Comedy, ages 6-13

Insects with attitude! Have you ever wondered what happened after James landed in New York? Well, after leaving the Giant Peach, James and his friends take on Manhattan. But soon they find themselves in a terrarium for a class science project! They meet some hilarious insects, like some Ants who want to bust their way out, and two cute Caterpillars who dream of becoming Butterflies. But the other Butterflies would rather play fashion model and the Bee keeps flying into the glass. Can Ringo the Dragonfly get “a little help from his friends”?

Every student has the option of having their own solo song, or not! This comedy gives each student their own star-turn in the spotlight with equal roles for all. We also do super-fun theater games that nurture creativity in a lively, positive atmosphere.

Packed with parodies of favorite Beatles songs, this show will drive you buggy – with laughter!
