Jack Beans is on trial for theft, and it’s up to your audience to determine if he’s guilty or innocent! In this madcap courtroom comedy, Jack and his lawyer Big Bad Wolf go head to head with Mrs. Helga Giant and her lawyer Red Riding Hood on Storybook Court to determine if Jack is guilty of stealing the Giants’ gold, goose, and harp.
With plenty of well-known characters as witnesses and members of the jury, it’s anyone’s guess as to how this trial will end. The Gingerbread Man could hardly sit still through the trial, and Grouchy was awfully... well... grouchy through the whole thing. But when juror member Sleeping Beauty falls sound asleep, it’s the audience that must vote to determine Jack’s fate! Your actors will love the challenge of learning two different endings. And who knows? With multiple performances, maybe your actors will get a chance to perform both!
The play is creatively designed to have your entire cast onstage for the entire show to make rehearsals easier and to ensure that everyone has plenty of stage time, even if they only have a few lines.
