LMK Musical Draws Capacity Crowds

The LMK Middle School Drama Club’s production of James and the Giant Peach Jr. was a resounding success, drawing capacity crowds and showcasing the remarkable talent and spirit of LMK students. The musical highlighted not only strong performances onstage, but also an impressive level of teamwork behind the scenes. More than 80 LMK students participated in the production, with 55 students in the cast and 30 students serving on the crew. Together, they brought Roald Dahl’s beloved story to life with energy and creativity. From lively musical numbers to imaginative staging, the production reflected months of dedication and teamwork. The show also received valuable support from Harrison High School students, who played key roles throughout the rehearsal process and at performances as production assistants, choreographers, and tech mentors, as well as stage management, lighting, sound and stage design. HHS and LMK alumna, Lucy Neureuther, led the lobby display crew, working with LMK students to design and create the decorations that welcomed audiences into the theater.  The production brought together students from all three LMK grades, representing a wide range of experiences, and fostering a supportive, inclusive environment. Beyond their achievements onstage, the cast and crew demonstrated kindness, encouragement, and teamwork behind the scenes. James and the Giant Peach Jr. reflected the best of both the LMK and HHS drama communities.
