Into The Woods

Into The Woods is the culmination of a few of the most popular children's fairytales, but with a twist. The characters are Cinderella, Rapunzel and two Princes, Jack and the Giant, The Baker and his wife, Little Red Riding Hood, and more. These characters have personal goals that send them on a journey; and they all end up coming together in the story. The Baker and his wife desperately want a child but the witch has put a curse on their house. The Baker must find the cape as red as blood, a slipper as pure as gold, a cow as white as milk, and hair as yellow as corn to have the spell lifted from their house. With these four ingredients, the witch will have the spell that was once cast upon her lifted, transforming her from an ugly witch to a beautiful woman. Through this compelling story of "Happily Ever After" the characters realize that every action performed has a consequence. At the end of the musical the characters come together realizing that no one is ever alone. This is a great play for kids with great lessons to learn about action, consequence and community.
