Into The Woods

What happens after “happily ever after?” Stephen Sondheim’s Into The Woods answers that question, skillfully interweaving several classic fairy tales into one epic story that goes beyond the happy endings to show what happens when a fairy-tale world gets real. This modern twist on the Brothers Grimm brings together Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack (of beanstalk fame), a Baker, his Wife and, of course, the Witch. The beloved storybook characters take on startling complexity as they discover that wishes come with a price. Witches, wolves, giants and mysterious strangers force the heroes to face the music and their future in a world where everything doesn’t always end happily.

This production uses special effect fog and haze, as well as strobe lighting effects, sudden loud noises, and staged violence. There are mature themes (death, infidelity, etc.), and other moments that may be frightening to young children. Parents should use their own discretion.

Estimated run time is 3 hrs including a 15 minute intermission.
