Jack and the Beanstalk |
One of the classics of children's theater. This play is full of magic. From the first act, when the beanstalk grows in full view of the audience, miracles begin to happen right before your eyes. Up in the Giant's house, up above the clouds, Jack is nearly caught in a breathtaking chase across over the stage and escapes only with the help if the Giant's wife. Then, as Jack climbs toward home, there is a beautiful and magnificent scene on the beanstalk where the man in the moon tests his courage. Jack proves his worth by finding a way not only to rescue the Giant's wife but to save his own mother from the villain Rafe Heywood's greedy schemes. When Jack finally chops down the beanstalk, with the Giant on it, the audience is jubilant.
