Barn Junior productions, featuring high school and middle school kids from around the Kansas City Metro area, will stage Into The Woods to start your theatre year off right.
Into The Woods, featuring music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and a book by James Lapine, is a 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.
