The Highway Puppet Theater’s Jack and the Beanstalk is a magical tale of a wise-cracking boy with big dreams, and too much pride. Hold onto your hats as he learns that his brains and heart are more useful than his brawn against a big giant. Also available as Jane and the Beanstalk.The show is performed with handmade puppets and props and live voices. Live voice means the puppets can call the birthday boy or girl by name, refer to the name of your organization or customize the performance in other ways.
Performance Cost: $150 for audiences up to 200.

We reserve the right to charge an additional transportation cost to travel to locations outside of Pittsburgh and its suburbs.HPT Jack and the Beanstalk Party Ideas
Magic Party: Use food coloring, cornstarch and all matter of magical ingredients to mix your own magic potions, just like Jack. Wear wizard robes, make magic wands, and don’t forget trick “magic” re-lighting candles for the birthday cake!Planting Party: Most gardeners may not be able to grow beanstalks all the way to the sky, but that doesn’t make growing a plant any less magical. Dig in the dirt, paint terra cotta pots and plant your own seeds to take home and water. Who knows? You might find your own magic world.
Castle Party: Live the life of the most royal giant, if only for a party. Make crowns, tiaras and scepters; write official proclamations and decorate a jungle gym as a castle. Don’t forget the edible glitter on her majesty’s cake.
- The Ugly Duckling
- Hansel and Gretel
- Goldilocks and the Three Bears
