See “Into the Woods” This Weekend At The Shorewood Auditorium
Thursday, May 14 at 7:30 p.m.
Friday and Saturday, May 15-16 at 8 p.m.

The Shorewood School District’s award-winning Drama Department consistently ranks at the top of Wisconsin schools for presenting professional-caliber productions. It is no exception with the High School’s spring musical, “Into the Woods.” This Tony Award-nominee production includes music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and the book by James Lapine. It is a fable for our time: be careful of the things you do - children will listen!

An ambivalent Cinderella? A blood-thirsty Little Red Ridinghood? A Prince Charming with a roving eye? A Witch who raps? They’re all among the cockeyed characters in this fractured fairy tale. When a baker and his wife learn they’ve been cursed with childlessness by the witch next door, they embark on a quest for the special objects required to break the spell, swindling, lying to and stealing from Cinderella, Little Red, Rapunzel and Jack (the one who climbed the beanstalk). Everyone’s wish is granted at the end of Act One, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later, with disastrous results. What begins as a lively irreverent fantasy in the style of “The Princess Bride” becomes a moving lesson about community responsibility and the stories we tell our children.
