Youth Musical Theatre
is encouraging YOU
to audition
for
Into the Woods
Come join us as we pay tribute to the genius, Stephen Sondheim, who died four years ago this coming November, by presenting one of his most beloved and celebrated musicals, INTO THE WOODS. This iconic musical intertwines the plots of several classic fairy tales, including Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the Beanstalk, and Rapunzel. The story follows a Baker and his Wife who desperately want to have a child but are cursed by a Witch. To break the curse, they must venture into the woods where they confront moral dilemmas and the consequences of their desires. The show features many leading and supporting roles for both men and women and many roles will be double cast.
