Greenville Theatre Works presents Into the Woods on April 25-27 and May 2-4 at the Fletcher Warren Civic Center. James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim take storybook characters and bring them together for a timeless, yet relevant, piece and a rare modern classic. The Tony Award-winning book and score are both enchanting and touching.
The story follows 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. Everyone’s wish is granted, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later with disastrous results.
This play is directed by Micah McBay with assistant directors Heather McBay and Avery Arnold and choreographer Ariel Ross.
