"Old Jack
he went a running, he did run, uh-huh!" - Tale Tellers!
Jack (or
"Jackie") climbs to a World Above the Clouds. Here is
the classic tale told country style. Banjos twang and the hills ring
with country folk music. Down in Sweetwater Holler, poor Mama
can't get Jack to do a thing. When she sends Jack to market to
sell the cow, we're off on a high flyin' adventure!
"I
absolutely love how you write the scripts. They are perfect for many
different ages. We did Jack and the Beanstalk last year as the center
of the Summer Theatre Camp. The audience loved being involved and
seeing their kids flourish within the script. The script was a burst
of encouragement as my friend and I stepped into the adventure of directing."

Magic Polly's
got just the thing for Jack - five magic beans. But Mama throws
them away and Jack goes to bed with his tummy a' rumblin'. Tale
Tellers and Magic Makers conduct the audience in a feat of magic --
helping to grow the fantastic beanstalk that climbs right through the
clouds to the sky! Magic Polly brings Miss Booboo home, Mama
loves good boy Jack again and everyone sings around the fire.
Was it real or just a dream? No matter. Jack says
"Fee Fie Foe Fum... I'm not afraid of anyone!"
Fee Fie Foe
Fum! Old Dan Tucker the giant is fixin' to eat him a nice
helping of little boy stew. But Jack overcomes his fears.
He and Lucy the golden goose and Strum Along the rock star banjo
escape down the beanstalk with giants trailing behind them!
"Heartwood
Theatre of Newcastle's 'Jack and the Beanstalk' is fun for audiences

Instead of a
golden harp, ArtReach's version of Jack and the Beanstalk has a magic
banjo named Strum Along Cassidy who leads the audience in a rousing
& hilarious performance of 'On Top of Spaghetti'. Tale
Tellers and Music Makers lead the audience in participation including
the growing of the magic beanstalk.

The Teacher's
Guide is full of ideas for easy costumes and set. A stage may be
used but it is easy to produce this School Play in any large
room. Music Makers may use lots of percussion instruments to
add liveliness and musical interest to the spoken scenes. The
CD has backing track for all to sing to.
Jack

kids and their grownups use their imaginations for a memorable
dramatic experience.
