Into
The Woods
Through October 2
Alliance Theatre
The Alliance Theatre
opens their 43rd season with Into
The Woods - a Tony Award®-winning musical which delights your inner
child with flights of fancy and fantasy. Viewer beware - in a fit of foreshadowing,
the company sings "I have no fear, nor no one should! The woods are just trees,
the trees are just wood." setting the stage for Act II in which your favorite
fairy tales are turned upside down when all those wishes have consequences. Join
Cinderella, Little Red Ridinghood, Jack, the Baker and his wife, Rapunzel and,
of course, a sometimes slightly wicked Witch as they preen and scheme to get
their heart's desire!
A clever, charming reminder to mind your morals (and your
mother) Into The Woods

onstage orchestra of local high school musicians. Performances are every
