JACK & PHIL SLAYERS OF GIANTS, INC.
QCT on the Road
Touring April 7 – May 19
Jack and Phil: Slayers of Giants, Inc. is a modern retelling of the classic fairy tale “Jack and the Beanstalk” full of whimsy, wit, and a timely message about friendship and self-confidence. The story focuses on the new character Phil, Jack’s best and only friend. To save Jack’s house from being sold, the two friends purchase “magical beans” that promise fame and fortune to anyone who possesses them. The next morning, a giant beanstalk suddenly grows right between Jack and Phil’s houses. As Phil rescues Jack time and again—while Jack takes the credit for the town’s newfound prosperity—tensions emerge between the two best friends. What would you give up for “fame and fortune?”

GHOSTLIGHT
Student Theatre Lab Play
Performance Dates | April 24-27
Enter the unknown with Ghostlight, a spine-tingling play by Stephen Gregg (author of 2023’s QCT Lab Show, Trap). Set in a prestigious and mysterious school, this suspenseful story follows a group of high school students as they navigate strange occurrences and uncover long-buried secrets during their rehearsal for a play. As bewildering events unfold and tensions rise, the line between reality and the supernatural blurs, leading to a thrilling and unexpected climax. Ghostlight masterfully merges humor, mystery, and a touch of the supernatural, offering an unforgettable theatrical experience that will keep audiences on the edge of their seats.
Written by Stephen Gregg
Original music composed by Isaiah Louis Hastings
GHOSTLIGHT is presented by arrangement with Playscripts.
