Jack
and the Beanstalk
This new, musical adaptation of the classic children’s story will incorporate music and movement to create an enchanted world of dancing cows, hysterical chickens, a singing harp, magical beans, and a Giant who lives in a castle in the sky. Well, poor Jack can't seem to do anything right. He sells the cow for beans, climbs the beanstalk, gets caught trying to steal the Giant's Golden Goose, and has trouble finding his way back home. By the end of this special tale, the cow is returned, the chicken learns how to lay golden eggs and the silly Giant teaches Jack a valuable lesson about dealing with others.

Three
Billy Goats Gruff
Tuesday, July 20, 2010 @ 11am
All the three billy goats want to do is get across the bridge so
they can eat the grass on the other side, but there’s a grumbly,
grouchy, bully of a Troll under the bridge who is determined not to
let them pass. They do finally get across, and even make a new friend
in the process. A rollicking musical production by Kevin M. Reese.
Directed by Alex "A.C." Gardner.
