After-school students develop on-stage and backstage skills from theatre professionals including acting, singing, dancing, and designing sets and costumes. All students will celebrate their hard work with an on-stage role in a fully staged musical production of “Into The Woods Jr.” with live performances!

 

Stephen Sondheim’s and James Lapine’s legendary, Tony Award-winning musical - now adapted to be accessible to young performers! "Into the Woods Jr." features all of your favorite fairytale characters — Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack (and his beanstalk), and the Witch — in this lyrically rich retelling of classic Brothers Grimm fables.

 

The musical centers on 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, and wind up changed forever.

​

With many unforgettable roles, "Into the Woods Jr." is the perfect production to showcase performers of all experience levels.
