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.

Recommendation and Resources:
Theatre for Young Audiences … and Their Families is just that, a multi-generational experience for all ages (except children under the age of 4 and babes in arms). The only requirement is that each audience member occupy a seat and sit quietly through the performance while having a wonderful time!
