James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl, Adapted by Timothy Allen McDonald, Benj Pasek, and Justin Paul
Directed by Patrick O’Neill • Stage Managed by Juliet Burgess • Scenic Design by Bailey Hecht • Light by Alec Jackson • Costumes by Sophie Costanzi
My set centers around a “peach-cenium” which opens and closes to indicate whether the characters are on top of or inside the peach. The concept is that when the peach-cenium is “open” the walls become that of the peach, and when they are “closed” they form the top of the peach, with the ladder as its stem.
