SUMMARY:Flying High: Big Band Canaries Who Soared!
DESCRIPTION:Well-known musicians Champian Fulton\, Carmen Bradford\, and Elizabeth Bougerol celebrate Women’s History Month with a tribute to the trailblazing musicians of the 20th century: Billie Holiday\, Anita O’Day\, Lena Horne\, Peggy Lee\, Jo Stafford\, Rosemary Clooney\, Ella Fitzgerald\, and others. \nEarly in their careers\, they were “canaries” – women singing with the great Big Bands of Glenn Miller\, Artie Shaw\, Gene Krupa\, Benny Goodman\, and more. But these women were birds of a feather in more ways than one. They didn’t let bandleaders define them and they all went on to acclaimed soloist careers. \nAfter debuting at NYC’s Birdland Club to three nights of sold out shows\, JATB is presenting “Flying High: Big Band Canaries Who Soared” at the Garrison Theater at Scripps College. Join us Saturday March 22 at 3:00 PM for a revue of the music made famous by jazz canaries once they spread their wings!

SUMMARY:James and the Giant Peach
DESCRIPTION:James and the Giant Peach\n\nBased on the book by Roald Dahl\n\nBook by Timothy Allen McDonald\nMusic and Lyrics by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul\nDirected and Choreographed  by Alan M-L Wager\nMusic Directed by John Massey\n\n\nWhen 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. \n\nFeaturing 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!”
