Abigail King cast in "Jack and the Magic Beans" at UW-Whitewater

2013 Oct 15

Full of zany characters, laughs, lessons and a hint of magic, the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater production of "Jack and the Magic Beans" comes to Barnett Theatre this fall.

Abigail King, a freshman theatre major from Madison, Wis., has been cast as Princess Tulip.

The tale follows the title character Jack, who lives in the Land of the Giant. The greedy Giant constantly causes trouble for the townspeople and eventually kidnaps Good Queen Violet and holds her for a rather large ransom. Will Jack be clever enough to help save the queen or will a foolish choice stop him?

"Jack and the Magic Beans" hits the Barnett stage Saturday, Oct. 26, at 2 p.m. The cast and crew then goes on tour to perform at area elementary schools during the week of Oct. 28. They close their tour on Saturday, Nov. 2, at the Lake Country Children's Theatre at 1:30 p.m. at Arrowhead High School.

The play is directed by Charles "Skip" Grover, associate professor of theatre. For tickets, go to tickets.uww.edu.
