Schools Notebook: ‘James and the Giant Peach’ at HMS April 26-27

by | Apr 10, 2024 | Education

The Hopkinton Middle School Drama Club will perform the junior version of “James and the Giant Peach” at the HMS auditorium. Shows are scheduled for Friday, April 26, and Saturday, April 27, at 7 p.m. both days.

Tickets are available at the door as well as online via showtix4u.com/event-details/82360.
