THE BFG (BIG FRIENDLY GIANT)
Theatre for Young Audiences
by Roald Dahl
adapted by David Wood
November 2-18, 2007
Julianne Argyros Stage

The popular children’s book — from the author of James and the Giant Peach and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory — comes to life as a 24-foot giant lumbers onstage and whisks away a little girl. But the BFG is no ordinary giant. He’ll take Sophie on a fantastical journey in a land of mixed-up language and make-believe, where amazingly happy dreams can be caught with a net and blown into the ears of children.
