CSA's Civic Theatre presents: James and the Giant Peach

"Are you willing to reach into the great unknown and see what bizarre adventures the universe may have in store for you?"


Come out and enjoy a wonderfully weird and magical story brought to life by CSA's Civic Theatre on the main stage of the Walton Performing Arts Center at Marion High School this weekend! Dozens of community players are featured — including some of our Marion Community Schools students!


The musical James and the Giant Peach is based on the book of the same name by Roald Dahl. This whimsical show is the creation of Benj Pasek and Justin Paul — also known for Dear Evan Hanson, The Greatest Showman, and La La Land.


See below for show times and ticket information!
