Dallas Children’s Theater presents
The BFG (Big Friendly Giant)
Adapted for the stage by David Wood
from the novel by Roald Dahl

10:00 am Friday, April 8, 2016
65 minutes

“I is a nice and jumbly Giant! I is THE BIG FRIENDLY GIANT! I is the BFG.” He’s a 15-foot-tall vegetarian with vocabulary problems. The tender-hearted BFG and an orphan girl named Sophie hatch a plan to save the children from man-eating giants and are assisted along the way by the Queen of England, the British Army, and the Royal Air Force. Chosen as one of the top 100 chapter books by the National Education Association and the School Library Journal, author Roald Dahl’s personal favorite fantasy tale, with its hilarious made-up words, comes to life on stage using life-sized puppets and people. Dallas Children's Theater has been designated an American Masterpieces Touring Artist by the National Endowment for the Arts.
