Jack and the giant entertains and raises awareness

The Grove Theatre's performance of Jack And The Giant Saturday gave the children the idea that possibilities are endless.

The performance was organized by the Children's Theatre at The Grove and told the tale of Jack And The Bean Stock.

"All our children's theater has a moral and the moral to this story would be that anyone with an imagination can achieve great things," said Pat Dickson, Children's Theater production manager. "So if you're a dreamer and have a great imagination you can even slay a giant."

This is the second run of performances for Jack and the Giant, but this time preparing for the show was much different.

Only two shows are performed and the actors had half the time to rehearse.

The second performance March 28 at 2 p.m.

"This process was particularly difficult because we usually have a 3 to 4 week run, but with schedule of the theater they have space for two shows this time and a three week rehearsal," Dickson said. "Which is a pretty fast turnaround, so everybody has been working really hard."
