INTO THE WOODS:
The Staged Concert
Music and Lyrics by STEPHEN SONDHEIM
Book by JAMES LAPINE
Originally Directed on Broadway by James Lapine
Orchestrations by Jonathan Tunick
An epic reimagining of classic fairytales about wishes, family, and the choices we make.
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.
In our production some actors play up to three roles, others play up to three different instruments, in a rendition that is unlike any you've seen before. Special thanks to Foliage Plant Shop in downtown Leesburg for volunteering their plants to help us bring the magical world of the woods to life!
This show is recommended for ages 12+ - have younger kids who like musicals? Bring them to our special "Family-Friendly Preview" performance! Sunday, November 9th at 1pm we'll be performing Act 1 only which is appropriate for all ages. This performance will be followed by a meet and greet and instrument petting zoo with the cast and the Goldberg School of Music, art activities with local artist Liz Nugent (who designed our poster art!), and snacks in the fellowship hall.
Don't let the cost of childcare stop you from enjoying a night of music - November 14th we have a lottery for free childcare provided on-site in Faith Chapel's playroom. For more information and put your name in for the lottery see our Eventbrite ticketing page.
