Touring Summer 2026:
Jack and the Turnip Rootby Kyle Adkins
Jack and the Turnip Root is a playful new fairy tale featuring Jack (of Beanstalk fame), now spoiled and wealthy from the Giant’s treasures. Still scolded by his Mother, Jack tosses away a strange turnip—only for it to grow into a giant, twisting tangle that pulls him into a secret world of tiny Ground Elves. There, Jack discovers a lively underground society full of magic, mischief, and unexpected challenges. Becoming their unlikely leader, he must learn bravery, kindness, and teamwork as he helps the elves reclaim their joy and save their world from trouble above.
The REV Theatre Company’s Summer Outreach Tour is made possible, in part,
by the support of the Skaneateles Area Arts Council.

Asa Naigus
Jack
Asa Naigus (he/him) is an actor from Marquette, Michigan who recently graduated with a B.F.A. in Musical Theater from Northern Michigan University. He could not be more excited to join The REV for a summer tour! When not in rehearsal, Asa spends his free time outdoors, mostly. Playing sports recreationally, working out, hanging out with friends, hiking, and swimming. He has taken an enormous liking to Owasco Lake in Auburn. He is so excited to be working on a show intended for young audiences, as theater shaped him from a young age. He believes it to be an incredible way to develop social skills, confidence, and start learning to think outside of the box…all while having fun. If the show can share even a fraction of that essence with the audiences, it will be a tremendous success. He hopes you love the show!
