Compass Creative Dramatics
The Jumping Jacks & The Beanstalk

Pay: No Pay

Description:

Compass Creative Dramatics usually works with kids aged 3-18. This time, we're looking for silly / quirky / kid-at-heart adults (21+) to perform our fundraiser performance of The Jumping Jacks & The Beanstalk.

Our adaptation includes singing and dancing for all of our actors, but don't worry - it's usually intended for student performers, so nothing too challenging!

In 1926, as the reign of vaudeville comes to an end, The Jumping Jacks (the once-famous song-and-dance act) tour a shabby state fair circuit. Broke and hungry, they dream of a better life for their only family, the dancing cows that made them famous. When a mysterious stranger offers the cows a good home, the Jumping Jacks hold back their tears and reluctantly say good-bye. But is the deal everything it appears to be?

Faced with naysaying neighbors, scheming lackeys, ferocious fashionistas, and the biggest beanstalk they've ever seen, the Jumping Jacks fight their way through the land above the clouds to reunite their family once and for all.

Time Commitment:

Table read Sunday, April 17th
6-8 evenings between May 1st and May 15th at 4001 N Ravenswood
Performance evening of Monday, May 16th at The Beat Kitchen in Roscoe Village
