Momma always told me not to take candy from strangers, but she never said anything about beans. I don’t recall Jack’s momma, of Jack and the Beanstalk, telling him not to take beans either. Why’d she get so pissed? Plus, he’s not going to eat them; he’s going to stick them in the dirt and wait for a magical thing to grow. Granted, Jack has no idea what the purpose of this giant, magical thing growing out of the earth is, but it sounds really cool. Who cares that he traded the family cow for the beans–they’re magic, and that’s better than money any day. But what does mom do? She throws the beans out the window (oh, the nerve). Now she’s done it. But how was Jack supposed to know that giant tree thing would lead to the house of an actual giant? Find out how Jack beats the giant in the marionette performance of Jack and the Beanstalk showing now through November 23 at Slappy’s Puppet Playhouse in the Galleria, 13350 Dallas Parkway.
