A delightfully offbeat musical adaptation of the classic Roald Dahl adventure!
When James is sent by his conniving aunts to chop down their old fruit tree, he discovers a magic potion that results in a tremendous peach... and launches a journey of enormous proportions. Suddenly, James finds himself in the center of the gigantic peach, among human-sized insects with equally oversized personalities, but after it falls from the tree and rolls into the ocean, the group faces hunger, sharks, and plenty of disagreements. Thanks to James' quick wit and creative thinking, the residents learn to live and work together as a family. The dangerous voyage is a success, but the adventure takes a whole new twist once they land on the Empire State Building.

Rufugee Rhapsody
Pittsburgh International Classic Theatre
October 9 - 25, 2026
-
"Because it's a given love will hurt you somewhere down the line. It's a question of when, who, and how much"
Refugee Rhapsody, a new play by award-winning playwright Yussef El Guindi—an alumnus of Carnegie Mellon University and the 2025 recipient of the Laurents/Hatcher Foundation Citation of Excellence—will make its world premiere at Carnegie Stage in Pittsburgh.
Pittsburgh International Classic Theatre (PICT) has been selected, alongside Artists Repertory Theatre in Portland, Oregon, and the Contemporary American Theater Festival (CATF) in West Virginia, to present the second production in this rolling world premiere. The production is directed by Elizabeth Elias Huffman, Artistic Director of PICT.
About the play
A chance encounter between Emily, a wealthy socialite heiress, and a young Arab American couple, Sakinah and Fouad—children of refugees now working at Goodwill—unfolds into a darkly comic and unsettling exploration of race, class, and privilege in contemporary America. As their lives intersect, tensions escalate, culminating in a violent crime driven by jealousy and desire.
In the aftermath, Sakinah undergoes a psychological evaluation conducted by a pregnant mental health professional working for the defense, whose own marriage is strained by her husband’s objections to her involvement in the high-profile case. As the investigation deepens, questions of culpability and motive take center stage: As the truth unravels one question remains: Why?
