Jack (Ethan Snowden) and his mother (Rachel Ironmonger) try to sell their cow Bessy (Lunay Wepener) during an Alberta Opera March 2 production of Jack and the Beanstalk at Barrhead Elementary School (BES). Eventually Jack was able to sell Bessy for a bag of magic beans. Wepener was just one of a number of BES students the theatre company drafted as actors and stage hands.
