Foothill Elementary Presents
James and the Giant Peach, Jr.
Directed by Misty Davies and Erin Gavin
Musical Direction by Margie Alejandro
EVERY Foothill 3rd-5th grade student who auditions will be cast. Our goal is to have two full casts of 20-35 students each. Depending on interest, weather, and safety concerns, we may need to adjust schedule and/or performance paradigms.
Audition information is posted here.
You can register for Foothill's Musical (after logging in) HERE. Please sign up no later than November 5th!
COVID-19 Information: We will follow the county, city and district guidance on COVID-19. In the event of spread within the musical population, the PTA reserves the right to request masks and testing for participants.
