Get set for a gigantic stage experience as Portal Players Dramatic Society scales up the Capitol Theatre for the classic fairy tale comedy Jack and the Beanstalk.
Done in the traditional British style, this show offers entertainment for the whole family.
Directed by Scott Lowe and Tanya Horne, the cast has been hard at work sharpening their wit and developing the overblown characters featured in the show.
The cast of Jack and the Beanstalk are as follows:
