FIELD TRIPS

 

Roseville Theatre Arts Academy's Field Trip Series for elementary school students includes a range of performances designed to introduce children to live theatre and to captivate their imaginations with the excitement of staged performances. 

Exposure to, and participation in, performing and visual arts provides young people with authentic learning experiences that engage their minds, hearts, and bodies. Education research confirms that engagement in the art also nurtures the development of cognitive and social skills. 

There's simply no better way to introduce students to the performing arts than by attending an engaging and affordable performance at Roseville Theatre Arts Academy. The shows in our exciting Field Trip Series are well-suited for children in Pre-Kindergarten through Fifth Grade and for children's groups which include ages 4 through 11.

James And The Giant Peach The Musical

Tickets: $12.00

Thursday, October 22nd 10:00am - 11:30am

Roald Dahl's James and the Giant Peach is now a musical for the whole family to enjoy! Featuring a wickedly tuneful score by the Tony Award-nominated team of Pasek and Paul (Dogfight and A Christmas Story the Musical) and a curiously quirky book by Timothy Allen McDonald (Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka, The Musical Adventures of Flat Stanley), critics rave: James and the Giant Peach is a "masterpeach!"

When James is sent by his conniving aunts to chop down their old fruit tree, he discovers a magic potion that results in a tremendous peach... and launches a journey of enormous proportions. Suddenly, James finds himself in the center of the gigantic peach, among human-sized insects with equally oversized personalities, but after it falls from the tree and rolls into the ocean, the group faces hunger, sharks and plenty of disagreements. Thanks to James' quick wit and creative thinking, the residents learn to live and work together as a family. The dangerous voyage is a success, but the adventure takes a whole new twist once they land on the Empire State Building.
