Leo entreats the audience to participate by answering questions, group responses, and even a child and an adult are asked to volunteer to get on stage to assist with the show. Three different stories are told with humor and intrigue. Tulip, the puppet fairy and side-kick to Leo, keeps the audience on track throughout the hour-long show. We then meet his father, a rather royal looking puppet who also tells the audience that he is secretly hiding the heartless giant after he fell from the beanstalk. Leo, the human, lets the audience immediately in on a little secret…that his father wants him to be a conqueror of giants but his dream is to be a tour guide. An array of puppet characters stimulate your senses and compels both the young and old to laugh out loud. The story begins where the fairy tale, Jack and the Beanstalk, ends. The writer, director, actor, lighting & sound director, choreographer, and puppeteer is Dylan Shelton. This weekend my favorite 5-year-old and I went to see ”Jack and The Gentle Giant.” He LOVED it!
