"Into the Woods"
Directed by Dr. Tia Madison | Music Director: Dr. Christina Howell
ABOUT
James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim bring together everyone’s favorite storybook characters for a timeless, modern classic. This Tony Award-winning work is both enchanting and deeply moving.
The story follows a Baker and his wife who long for a child, Cinderella who wishes to attend the King’s Festival, and Jack who hopes his cow will give milk. When the Baker and his wife discover that a Witch’s curse prevents them from having children, they set off on a quest to break it. Each character’s wish is granted, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them with disastrous results.
All performances will take place in the NVC Performing Arts Center Main Theater.
