In the upcoming Tryon Summer Youth Theater production of “James and the Giant Peach,” Ladahlord — the magical narrator who knows exactly what is going to happen — is played by someone who is no newbie to the Tryon stage — Cash McFarlane.

“Ever since my first play with Tryon Little Theater I have loved theater,” McFarlane said. “I really get to express my creativity in my characters and everybody involved is so helpful and encouraging.”
