Summer children’s theatre ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’ tour starts July 18
The Rehoboth Summer Children’s Theatre will hit the road with free performances of “Jack and the Beanstalk” as its 2023 outreach tour.
This version of the classic tale opens in a cloud castle where a grumpy Ogre pesters the villagers below with loud music from his enchanted harp and showers of non-golden eggs from his magic hen. Young Jack climbs a mysterious beanstalk to stop the craziness. He grabs the harp, the hen and a bag of silver coins, escaping down the vine. When the Ogre tries to follow, audiences are surprised with a new, delightfully happy ending for all.
The 45-minute show is performed entirely by Le’Asha Julius and Cameron Del Grosso, RSCT’s 2023 actors in residence. Lightning-quick costume changes and a lively sense of humor are the hallmarks of this family-fun show. “Jack and the Beanstalk” is one of more than 30 shows created and originally performed by company founders Elise and Steve Seyfried.
