The Theatre School at North Coast Rep presents the colorful musical Roald Dahl’s "James and the Giant Peach Jr." as its next student production. Based on one of Roald Dahl’s most poignantly quirky stories, Roald Dahl’s "James and the Giant Peach Jr." is a brand new take on this “masterpeach” of a tale! About the play: Featuring a wickedly tuneful score and a witty and charming book, this adventurous musical about courage and self-discovery is destined to be a classic. 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.

An interview with a federal safety regulator quickly became fodder for outrage, viral social media content and political fundraising.

Swish Projects will open a solo exhibition of new works by Jonny Alexander, "Heavy Levity," from Mar. 18 through Apr. 10, 2022. An opening reception will be held Friday, Mar. 18, 2022 from 6-9 p.m. Viewable by appointment using Calendly or via email. This exhibition is centered around a series of large paintings on canvas, contrasting natural landscape with the human-made impact, and Alexander has linked the paintings to each other. "One painting of a living room scene depicts a ‘painting’ on the wall. Elsewhere in the exhibition that painting can be found at full scale. The works together become connected and self referential, pointing to the overall theme of blurred boundaries and giving a sense of the liminal space that is created when our perceived separations converge," Alexander writes in his artist statement. Alexander's work is surreal, but within each work, what stands out the most is the juxtaposition of something from nature, or something wild (flowers, landscapes, rocks) with a human, domestic element (a living room setup, a table, an architectural detail). —Julia Dixon Evans, KPBS.
