Where is the Beanstalk today?




















Instant Theatre Comes to you this month in search of Jack's Beanstalk

Human beings, when you throw them in a pot to cook, boil down to the same basic needs-- wants-- drives of all other Human beings. It just so happens that Instant Theatre is searching out those basic chemicals through Jack's Beanstalk.

Come join us as our writers uncover what makes up those magic beans, bought for the price of cow.

This is a free event!

Come climb a plant of dreams and terrors!
