Can a boy outwit a giant?
Can beans make wishes come true?
They can and do in this award-winning puppet production!
When Jack trades the family cow for a few magic beans — which grow into a beanstalk overnight — he climbs it to find adventure and fortune.
Along the way he meets a feisty and funny chicken, a magic singing harp, and one real rat of a giant.
This popular classic features beautifully crafted hand and rod puppets, colorful scenic design, special effects, and an original script in which Jack, with the help of a clever chicken, saves the day!
