On February 21, Blake High School Children’s Theatre (BCT) will bring the play “The Odyssey of Jeremy Jack” to Tikvat Israel.
The play is the story of Jeremy Jack, a turtle, who is dissatisfied with his life and believes that the solution will be to get free from his shell and find a new home. Along with his friend, Lou theLizard, Jeremy Jack travels around to look for help. He meets with three hip-hop raccoons, two tangled snakes, a mule who thinks he’s a horse, and other interesting characters.
Last year, BCT, led by congregant Mary Wagner, brought “A Tale of Peter Rabbit” to Tikvat Israel. Preschoolers from the ECC, elementary school-aged children, and their parents and grandparents enjoyed the production. This year’s play is recommended for same audience. Like last year, proceeds will benefit BCT and Tikvat Israel youth programs.
