Into the Woods

By James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim
Directed by Laura Lloyd
Musical Direction by J. Lynn Thompson

February 20-22 and 25-27

You will enjoy the genius of Sondheim in this classic scrambling of your favorite fairytales. In this fantasy everyone is wishing for something: Cinderella wishes to go to the ball; Rapunzel wishes she were freed from captivity. The baker and his wife wish for a baby; Jack, of Beanstalk fame, wishes for fortune. When everyone’s wish is granted, the responsibility of getting what you wanted becomes a bit too real, and “Happily Ever After” seems impossible. These fairytale characters learn their lives are interconnected, and those connections create a community where working together is their greatest asset, one far stronger than an individual wish. This wonderfully crafted musical is fun for the whole family.
