Into the Woods

FPAC presents James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim’s timeless, yet relevant, Into the Woods March 13-22 at THE BLACK BOX! Directed by FPAC Artistic Director Raye Lynn Mercer. 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. 

Content Advisory: Into the Woods contains some violence, death, and darker themes that may not be suitable for all audiences, particularly young children. The musical adaptation of the classic fairy tales includes a “darker” and less “happy ending” focused story than traditional fairy tales. 

Matinee performances will feature an “Act 1 Only” option for kids with activities/supervision provided next door at the Franklin School for the Performing Arts during Act 2.
