Shelton Kiwanis Foundation disappointed to cancel
Jack in the Beanstalk, starring local students
Shelton Kiwanis was proud to invite Missoula Children’s Theater (MCT) for community performances of an original adaptation of “Jack and the Beanstalk."
On March 9, 2019, the tour team arrived in Shelton with a set, lights, costumes, props, and make-up – everything it takes to put on a play…except the cast. Local school-age children were invited to open auditions and 58 local students were cast in the production. Sadly, due to public health concerns surrounding COVID-19, the public performances were cancelled. The Shelton Kiwanis Foundation believes that participating in the performing arts hones important characteristics such as creativity, social skills, goal achievement, communication skills and self-esteem. Show SynopsisWhat happens when a young boy plants Wonder Beans in his own backyard? For Jack, it is the beginning of a great adventure. With a little help from P.T. Wonder and a Giant, Jack learns a valuable lesson about true happiness. This musical production also features a host of other characters, including the Elegant Harp, Jill, Mother, Milky White, the Farmers, the Merchants, the Circus Performers and the Wonder Beans.
