Forty youth ages 8 to 16 are bringing the tale of "James and the Giant Peach Jr." to life at the Flagler Playhouse.

After rehearsing 9 a.m. to noon Monday to Friday for three weeks, the youth summer camp participants held a dress rehearsal on Tuesday, July 23.

Director Ben Beck, Stage Manager Joseph Mahoney and Choreographer Allison Maxwell have worked hard to give the Palm Coast and Bunnell students opportunities to shine on stage this summer.

This is the fifth year of the youth summer camp at the playhouse. There will be a cast pizza party in between the shows on Saturday, July 27, for the students to enjoy.
