Barrington Stage Company's Devised Theatre Ensemble Presents 'Jack and the Beanstalk'
 |
PITTSFIELD, Mass — Barrington Stage Company's Virginia and Harvey Kimmel Arts Education Fund's Devised Theatre Ensemble (DTE) presents an original musical: "Jack & the Beanstalk," running July 26–31 at the Boland Theatre at Berkshire Community College (1350 West Street, Pittsfield).
According to a press release:
A delightful theatrical experience for audiences of all ages, this modern reimagining promises giant laughs, surprising twists, and unforgettable fun.
This wildly inventive take on the classic fairy tale bursts with original music, puppetry, and clever contemporary humor. When young Jack trades his family cow for a handful of mysterious beans, he launches into an epic adventure featuring a grumpy giant king, a golden goose, and—because this is 2025—a cunning real estate developer with plans to turn Jack's humble village into luxury condos.
The musical is directed by Sam LaFrage, with music direction and songs by Billy Recce and production design (including puppetry and animation) by Jim Spieler.
