Presented in two parts, this unique performance features Das Puppenspiel in the show's first half presenting a series of tales that find Jack (of "the Beanstalk" fame) as he journeys through all sorts of magical adventures.  Large, beautifully crafted "bunraku' style puppets and authentic Appalachian music performed live by musician John Kirk combine to bring these funny and delightful tales to life.

In the show's second half, John Kirk is joined by Trish Miller for a performance of traditional folk music.  This husband and wife duo are Opera House favorites known for their diverse musical talents and step dancing abilities.  Their down-home, roots-based performances have entertained audiences from Maine to California and from Michigan to Florida!
