​
INTO THE WOODS: Ages 13-17
INTO THE WOODS, JR: Ages 8-13
The Brothers Grimm hit the stage with an epic fairytale about wishes, family and the choices we make.
​
James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim take everyone's favorite storybook characters and bring them together for a timeless, yet relevant, piece. The Tony Award-winning book and score are both enchanting, hilarious, profound and touching.
The story follows a Baker and his wife, who wish to have a child; Cinderella, who wishes to attend the King's Festival; and Jack, who wishes his cow would give milk. When the Baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of a Witch's curse, the two set off on a journey to break the curse. Everyone's wish is granted, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later with disastrous results.
​
One of Sondheim's most popular works, Into the Woods is a musically sophisticated show with the opportunity to feature actors adept at dark comedy. Actors will especially enjoy inhabiting the fantastical elements of this magical world.
