Jonesborough Repertory Theatre

Jonesborough Repertory Theatre (JRT) proudly presents THE JACK TALES by Rex Stephenson.

JRT’s production of THE JACK TALES, by R. Rex Stephenson competed at the Tennessee Theatre Association statewide competition on Oct. 28th in Johnson City. The cast was awarded “BEST ENSEMBLE” by the American Association of Community Theatre. JRT was the only children’s theatre production in the community theatre competition. We are very proud of our JACK PLAYERS!!

The Jonesborough Repertory Theatre Jack Tale Players include Isaac Bates, Charity Bond, Cassandra Brooks, Mikki Churchwell, Alonna Donovan, Diane Harmon, Hannah Hornsey, Logan Lockner, Jeffrey Oaks, Rachel Ponder, and Lexi Turner. These talented young people have been working on five of the most well known tales. Tales include Jack Fear No Man, Wicked John and the Devil, Jack and the Robbers, Jack and the Witch’s Tale, and Jack and Ol’ Greasy Beard. Holley Housewright is the production’s lighting director.

The students play a wide range of character roles - Giants, a King, a Witch, Jack’s poor Ma and Pa, his brother’s Bill and Tom, the meanest man that ever was - Wicked John, and many more……like Saint Peter! "Each student in the production has three to five characters to play," says Buttolph. "It’s a challenge that everyone has embraced."
