"Into The Woods"

This 1988 Tony Award-winning show is a brilliantly conceived exploration of what happens after "happily ever after." The show, which has an enchanting, moving, and profound score by Stephen Sondheim, and a powerful, witty book by James Lapine, opened on Broadway on November 5, 1987.

Into The Woods is a seamless fusion of fairy tales that we all grew up reading and listening to. Sondheim and Lapine create another fairy tale about a Baker and his Wife which ties all of the familiar characters together. As the intricate, absorbing plot unfolds, the childless Baker and his Wife, cursed by a wicked witch, go off "into the woods" in hopes of ridding themselves of her evil influence. There they encounter Cinderella, her Prince, Little Red Ridinghood, the Wolf, Jack the Giant Killer, Rapunzel, and other fairy tale characters who are attempting to realize wishes of their own.

By the end of the first act, everything seems to be blissfully, happily resolved. But a destructive, vengeful force looms in the woods which leads to tragic consequences in the second act, bring the characters to a painful, but hopeful resolution.

Filled with unexpected twists and dazzling insights, Into The Woods is a plea for commitment and includes subjects as diverse as the promise of perfect love, the foolhardiness of questing for material goods, and the loving but difficult relationship between parents and children. With tenderness and laughter, the writers bring us through a maze that mirrors the complexity of everyday existence. And like the characters on stage, we end this journey aware of the moral consequences of our actions and the power of tolerance, community, and shared sacrifice.

Directing the musicians who will sing and play Sondheim's Tony award-winning score is Bob Olcott of Poulsbo, who was music director for last fall's production of Oliver. The set is designed and built by Larry Adams, and the set artist is Willo McKee-Huard. Costumes are fashioned by CSTOCK costume coordinator Kathy Kershaw and props provided by Sally Richardson. Arnold Lozano will design the lighting effects for the production.
