The Bellaire High School Thespians prepare for an upcoming performance of James and the Giant Peach. Parents and families have been enjoying productions throughout the year.
BELLAIRE It will be an evening of fun and music when the Bellaire High School Thespians present the spring musical “James and the Giant Peach” at 7 p.m. March 19 and the same time March 20 at the high school alumni auditorium.
The story revolves around young orphan James, who is taken in by his two atrocious aunts. Through magic, a peach on a tree in the orchard grows to an enormous size, along with the insects in it.
To nourish is to provide the food that is necessary for growth and health. It also means to listen, care and support one another. Virginia MOCA will debut newly created artworks in the "Nourish" exhibition, which opens Feb. 11. The museum commissioned 12 artists and partnered them with people in local food-connected industries or organizations including farmers, chefs, nutritionists, food justice and anti-hunger advocates. They provided a unique insight into the food culture of our region and were the inspiration for the commissioned work on view. The exhibition and related educational programming encourage people to forge new connections with each other and to gain a greater understanding of the challenges of filling our plates.
