Into The Woods About

Format for the Production

This will be a concert version of this show. No memorization will be required. We will be focusing in rehearsals on the harmonizing of the songs. This show is very song heavy and it’s such a gorgeous score and it’s where the focus will be. Everyone will be required to make some sort of creative binder for their scripts to hold during the show.

(If you are able to memorize your role during the rehearsal period, you won’t be forced to use the script. But just know that option is there.)

Rehearsal Schedule

Keep an eye on this page for a full rehearsal schedule to be posted shortly.

About the Show

James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim take everyone's favorite storybook characters and bring them together for a timeless, yet relevant, piece... and a rare modern classic. The Tony Award-winning book and score are both enchanting 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. Designers will especially enjoy highlighting the fantastical elements of this magical word.
