Curtain Calls: Reimagined Jackie and the Beanstalk' sure to delight East Bay audiences
"No, that's not a typo. This new musical tale features a young girl as the title character. The cast also includes Rita, a narcissistic cow, Lucy, an overworked and underpaid golden goose and a diminutive giant with an enormous Napoleon complex. This updated story by Ron Lytle will delight children and adults alike with its upbeat attitude, clever comedy and Broadway-style songs."
"Castro Valley: Witches and spells begin October for Chanticleers Theatre as the company presents John Van Druten's Bell, Book and Candle Oct. 17 through Nov. 2 at 3683 Quail Ave. You might remember the 1958 film starring Kim Novak and James Stewart that featured a very special Siamese cat named Pyewacket. Hopefully, the Chanticleers will have its own Pyewacket, who figures prominently in this tale of a modern witch putting a spell on a handsome young man so he will fall in love with her."
