David Crosby/Rowan Opera: Weekend Events In South Jersey

Check out some events on tap for this weekend in South Jersey, courtesy our friends at Visit South Jersey:

James & the Giant Peach
November 16, 17, & 18 | 7 PM
Haddonfield Plays and Players, Haddonfield

Based on one of Roald Dahl's most poignantly quirky stories, James and the Giant Peach Jr. is a brand new take on this "masterpeach" of a tale! When James is sent by his conniving aunts to chop down their old fruit tree, he discovers a magic potion that grows a tremendous peach, rolls into the ocean, and launches a journey of enormous proportions. James befriends a collection of singing insects that ride the giant piece of fruit across the ocean, facing hunger, sharks, and plenty of disagreements along the way.
