OLD SAYBROOK, CT - The Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center, “the Kate”, welcomes families to the musical tale of Jack and the Beanstalk presented by The Barter Players on Saturday, October 14, 2023 at 11:00 am.
The Barter Players will tell the story of Jack and the Beanstalk where Jack is different from the other kids: every time it rains, he hears beautiful music up in the sky. Then one day the rain stops, and the ensuing drought forces Jack into town to sell his beloved cow, Bessie. Before he gets there, he meets a swindler who sends him instead on a madcap adventure up a magical beanstalk—an adventure that includes six quick-changing actors playing an entire town full of people, a Goose that lays golden eggs, a singing Golden Harp, and one angry Giant!
The Barter Players are a group of professional artists who perform world-class theatre for young people. They believe in theatre that awakens the imaginations of the most exciting, most participatory audience in the world: kids! The Barter Players’ performances focus on what brings out bravery in all of us with fierce theatricality, no-holds-barred acting, and faithfulness to the best stories ever written.
