Milam Community Theater presents ‘Jack and the Magic Beans’

One Night Only! Milam Community Theater will present their first ever literacy show Saturday, Sept. 24, starting at 6 p.m. at Williams Event Center located at 408 South Columbus Street in Cameron.

Directed by Brittany Tucker, “Jack and the Magic Beans“ features local youth ages 6 through 6th grade in a traveling show to area schools. It is designed to promote a love of literacy and fine arts. This year’s schools included Thorndale and Thrall. Saturday’s showing is presented to give parents and the community an opportunity to see all the hard work these young troopers have put in.

This entertaining version of Jack and the Beanstalk returns to the original English source, The History of Jack Spriggins and the Enchanted Bean. All the familiar characters are here: The dancing cow, the magic bean-seller, the hysterical chicken, the singing harp, the mother, the Giant. There are also zany villagers and a silly kitchen staff at the Giant’s castle. The Giant’s name is Gogmagog and he’s a horrible person. He even locks up the kingdom’s ruler. When Jack sells the cow for those magic beans the fun really begins. Jack goes up the beanstalk and into the castle where he not only fights Gogmagog but a spiteful Troll as well. By the play’s end the cow is returned, the chicken learns how to lay golden eggs and the good life returns to the kingdom — thanks to Jack.

With limited seating, tickets are expected to sell out fast. It is recommended that tickets be purchased in advance at  https://mct.ticketleap.com/jack-and-the-magic-beans, If possible, tickets will also be available at the door for $8 for persons 3 years of age and older.

Come out and support our youth and Milam Community Theater, Saturday, Sept. 24, at 6 p.m. at the Williams Event Center and be prepared to be entertained. Doors open at 5:30 p.m.
