LOCATION

 

 

Tuesday, June 10 at 6:00pm (rain date: 6/12, 6:00pm)
Glen Park at the Capuano School, 150 Glen Park

Jack and the Beanstalk is a joyous, original adaptation of the classic
tale about poor Jack who went to sell his cow and came home with three
magic beans. Jack’s daring adventure up the huge beanstalk helps him and
his mother out of their difficult
financial situation, even if his mother is a bit worried about the moral
issues surrounding this unusual way to acquire wealth. The show is
created in a Story and Puppet Time format where one performer provides
narration and gives voices to the characters and a second performer
operates hand puppets, figure puppets, and a marionette, and performs in
mask.
