Story Time Players prepare for “Jack and the Beanstalk: An Ascending Journey”

“Jack and the Beanstalk: an Ascending Journey” is the first production of the Story Time Players, written and directed by local theater mainstay Uncle Wayne Daigepont.

“It’s different from it being on a movie screen,” said Matthew Raetz, who will play the role of Georgy Porgy. “You’re connecting through the medium of the screen, but if there’s a person, an actual body in front of you that’s experiencing the same thing that you might have gone through you connect on such a deeper level that you could ever experience anywhere else

And while this is a fresh take on the story, there is a beanstalk — and yes, there’s Jack, played by Caden Pecoraro.
