The Growing Stage (Netcong, NJ) is holding an open call for James and the Giant Peach. TYA; Actor: $69/performance; Actor/ASM: $75/performance. Executive Director/Stage Director: Stephen L. Fredericks. Playwright: Richard R. George adapted from the original book by Roald Dahl. Runs: 3/18 – 4/17/11, Fridays at 7:30, Saturdays and Sundays at 4pm. A magical peach! An imprisoned boy! Insect friends! An incredible journey! This amazing adventure of James Henry Trotter will fulfill the fantasy of anyone who has ever dreamed of escape. Roald Dahl's story comes hilariously to life in this delightful dramatization that reveals the wickedness of some, the goodness of others, and the indecision encountered by many when they are faced with crises. You will see James (as he cleverly gets the Peach out of danger), the wise Old-Green-Grasshopper and the pessimistic Earthworm. You will also see James' mean Aunt Spiker and cruel Aunt Sponge come to a suitably sticky end. Rehearsal schedules are generally two or three evenings during the week, and a weekend afternoon. All cast members are expected for all performances, with no exception since the company does not cast understudies. Performers of color, seniors, women and performers with disabilities are encouraged to attend. For additional information please call (973) 347- 4946 or e-mail exdir@growingstage.com.

The cast breakdown calls for five adult men, five adult women, and one young male role between the age of ten and thirteen; and six young adult roles between the ages of 14 through 18.
