Tickets are now on sale for Upper Yarra Secondary College’s 2021/2022 production of Beanstalk: A Fractured Tale of Best Friends, Wizards & Flying Cars!

The first showing is on from Wednesday 23 March and runs each night up to Friday 25 March. The show begins at 7pm, with doors open to their Brian Way Theatre from 6.30pm at the school’s campus at 81-89 Little Yarra Rd Yarra Junction.

The play is a satirical, nonsensical take on the classic fairytale Jack and the Beanstalk. It follows the adventures of Jack, who after losing his memory after a convenient accident marries his childhood best friend, Jill. Together with his loveable pet cow, Patty, Jack adventures up the Beanstalk to prove he has a purpose in life. Unfortunately for Jack, an obnoxious prince, deranged wizard, and local council restrictions get in his way.

Students at the school have been working on and rehearsing the production since last year, with Covid restrictions getting in the way of many school events across the Yarra Ranges last year.
