BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND! Following its 2017 New York Times Critic's Pick world premiere, which introduced many New York audiences to the widely popular British art form known as the Panto, Jack and the Beanstalk returns this holiday season with even more radical joy. Jack needs the whole town's support to help him chop down the beanstalk
This holiday season is the time to experience a radical, joyful, uproarious family extravaganza promoting equality in all forms, featuring a spectacular cast of 20 talented Lower East Siders.
Written by disabled actor and writer Mat Fraser and directed by feminist art star Julie Atlas Muz, Jack & the Beanstalk brings tap-dancing animals, puppets, pie fights, pop music, cross-dressing characters and the most glittery of sets to the Lower East Side. This riotous all-ages morality tale brings together the whole family.
Now more than ever, New York City needs family theater that is inherently irreverent and lightly political—with good eventually triumphing over evil. Get ready to cheer the heroes, boo the villains and look out behind you!
