Into The Woods
Into the Woods is a musical that intertwines classic fairy-tale characters—including Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack (of beanstalk fame), and Rapunzel—with the story of a childless Baker and his Wife, who must lift a curse placed on their family by a vengeful Witch. Each character journeys “into the woods” to fulfill a personal wish, and while Act I culminates in seemingly happy endings, Act II reveals the consequences of those wishes. A giant’s rampage forces the survivors to confront grief, responsibility, and the messy complexities behind “happily ever after.” Ultimately, the play explores the cost of desire, the bonds of community, and the idea that no one is alone.
