Into The Woods Workshop

Into The Woods – Theatre Sampler Workshop

It is our pleasure to present INTO THE WOODS at the historic Landers Theatre as the fourth production in our 2011-2012 Mainstage Season of Performances.  

INTO THE WOODS combines the well-known fairy tales of Cinderella, Rapunzel, Jack and the Beanstalk, and Little Red Ridinghood with the story of the Baker and his Wife (to be performed at SLT by Broadway’s Kim Crosby!) who desperately want a child. Unfortunately, the Baker and his Wife have been cursed with childlessness by a witch and must perform various missions involving the characters in the other fairy tales to break the spell. The Baker and his Wife must bring the witch a cow as white as milk, a cape as red as blood, hair as yellow as corn, and a slipper as pure as gold. After a series of failed attempts, the Baker and his Wife finally are able to perform the tasks necessary to break the spell. Once the characters have accomplished their goals, however, they learn about the pitfalls of greed and gluttony. Finally, they learn about the need for community and family when they must unite to fight against the wife of the giant Jack killed who has decided to come back for revenge.

We are pleased to offer a special highly discounted rate to school groups of $8 per ticket on TWO NIGHTS ONLY!

We would also like to invite you to schedule a Theatre Sampler Workshop for your group in conjunction with the special performance.  The workshop would be held from 2:30-5:30 p.m. with a two-hour break scheduled for dinner before the show and could include A Tour of the Historic Landers Theatre, Theatre Games, Auditioning for Musical Theatre, Cold Readings, Voice For The Stage, Improvisation, and Musical Theatre Dance.  We would ask for a $150 donation to the SLT Education program in exchange for providing this service.
