UNITY THEATRE’S ‘JACK & THE BEANSTALK’ BEGINS THURSDAY

  

A classic fairy tale opens tomorrow (Thursday) at Unity Theatre in Brenham.

Unity Theatre will showcase “Jack and the Beanstalk” as its summer children’s musical for eight shows, running tomorrow through Sunday.  The production is the Prince Street Players’ version by Jim Eiler and Jeanne Bargy.

Jack is told by his mother to sell their cow to help pay the yearly taxes, but instead of money, he winds up with a bag full of magic beans.  The next morning after planting them, Jack awakens to find a giant beanstalk.  At the top lives a scientifically inclined giant who has invented a golden harp and a tap-dancing golden goose, and wackiness ensues as Jack tries to escape the magical kingdom.

Performances will be held at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. tomorrow and Friday, and 1 and 4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
