James Final.Pdf Image features Audrey Dwyer from a photo by Avital Zemer. 1 A Message from the Artistic and Executive Directors The theme for our 2016/17 season is “no-one is alone”. When planning YPT's playbill programming it was impossible not to include James and the Giant Peach. In this fun, adventurous, musical story, lonely James finds an unlikely family under the most unusual circumstances. This fantastical tale reminds us that we are all connected. The new year at YPT is off to a great start: opening James and the Giant Peach; many sold out classes in our Winter Drama School; exciting initiatives in play development (including a new work for “walking babies” aged 12-24 months!); our second international writing program for teenagers; and wonderful “connected” moments happening in our community initiatives with newcomer and health agencies. Please visit youngpeoplestheatre.ca to see ALL the things we do at YPT. And in the meantime, enjoy James and the Giant Peach! ALLEN MACINNIS NANCY J. WEBSTER Artistic Director Executive Director Young People’s Theatre is a member of the Professional Association of Canadian Theatres (PACT) and engages, under the terms of the Canadian Theatre Agreement, professional Artists who are members of Canadian Actors’ Equity Association.

His own childhood experience served as the inspiration for many of his stories and characters. He first became interested in writing children’s books by making up bedtime stories for his daughters, which led to the publication ofJames and the Giant Peach (1961) and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (1964). An unbroken string of bestselling titles followed, including The BFG, Danny the Champion of the World, The Twits, The Witches, Boy and Going Solo. Matilda, Dahl’s penultimate book, broke all previous records for a work of children’s fiction, with UK sales of over half a million paperbacks in six months. His work has been translated into over 40 languages, and he won prestigious awards, including the Whitbread Award in 1983 for The Witches and the Children’s Book Award in 1988 for Matilda. A great believer in the importance of reading, Dahl had a passion for teaching kids how to become readers. His stories remain among the most popular and treasured children’s tales of all time. 4 Cast BRUCE DOW Rent, Avenue Q (Lower Ossington Theatre), City CENTIPEDE/BUZZ/ of Angels (Queen’s Musical Theatre), Sweet MYSTERIOUS MAN Charity (Blue Canoe Productions), A Midsummer Night’s Dream (Queen’s Drama), Macbeth (BSS/ Bruce is very excited UCC Theatre).

  • Shakespeare on Film, Video & Stage
    William Shakespeare on Film, Video and Stage Titles in bold red font with an asterisk (*) represent the crème de la crème – first choice titles in each category. These are the titles you’ll probably want to explore first. Titles in bold black font are the second- tier – outstanding films that are the next level of artistry and craftsmanship. Once you have experienced the top tier, these are where you should go next. They may not represent the highest achievement in each genre, but they are definitely a cut above the rest. Finally, the titles which are in a regular black font constitute the rest of the films within the genre. I would be the first to admit that some of these may actually be worthy of being “ranked” more highly, but it is a ridiculously subjective matter.
