Tune in to WERA-LP 96.7 FM just about now (4:00pm ET) for the latest addition to our series Through the Looking Glass.
Note: for this afternoon’s broadcast, Bjorn Munson, artistic director for Jabberwocky Audio Theater, has an additional message for our friends and neighbors in the DC region regarding the current protests going on in DC and the rest of the country. While our stories are often meant as a respite from the real world, we’re storytellers because we want to connect with one another — and in addition to any changes we want to see happen in our community, connection and reflection are part of that. In our message, we noted that there are many resources you can go to learn and reflect more, but one that some of us are using is the online “Talking About Race” site from the Smithsonian. Stay safe. Stay connected. And keep fighting giants when you need to.
The English fairy tale of an enterprising young boy, a castle in the clouds, and some giants. It’s perhaps the best known of a series of “Jack Tales.”
Length: 24:07
Rated AD-G for general audiences
Contains a cruel and murderous giant, a conspiratorial and duplicitous giantess, and broken necks, which arguably might be the audio theater equivalent of villains falling from a great height.
