The Southwestern College theatre department will present the musical “Into the Woods” on Friday and Saturday, April 5 and 6, at 7:30 p.m., and on Sunday, April 7, at 2 p.m., in Messenger Recital Hall in the Darbeth Fine Arts building. 

“Inspired by Fiasco Theatre Company’s production of ‘Into the Woods,’ we have reimagined the piece in a way that highlights the humanity of the characters,” director Jennifer Hemphill says.  “Our version is not set in a specific time period, which helps lend to the universality of the story. We are excited to present a pared-down version of Stephen Sondheim’s poignant score. Favorite songs include ‘Children Will Listen,’ ‘I know Things Now,’ ‘Agony,’ and ‘Giants in the Sky.’”

The cast includes: Martin Rude, Aaron Knodle, Meagan Morrow, Ryan Pangracs, Tanner Schartz, Aidan Wells Filbert, Sam Beck, Savannah Joldersma, Jessica Burk, Avery Hogan, Ondreya Seahorn, Kaela Massey, Brynn Hampton, and Hannah Breshears.

Admission charge is $12 for adults, $10 for senior citizens, and $6 for students.  SC students and employees are free.
