West High School presents Stephen Sondheim's "Into the Woods"

An ambivalent Cinderella? A blood-thirsty Little Red Riding Hood? Prince Charming with a roving eye? A Witch... who raps? They're all among the cockeyed characters in James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim's fractured fairy tale "Into the Woods." When the Baker and his Wife learn they're cursed with childlessness, they embark on a quest for the special objects required to break the spell ­ swindling, lying and stealing from Cinderella, Little Red, Rapunzel, and Jack (of beanstalk fame). One of Sondheim's most popular works, this timeless yet relevant piece is a rare modern classic.

Performance and ticket information:

March 6, 7, 13 and 14 • 7:30 pm • West High Auditorium
Tickets are $8 for students and $10 for adults

Please join the West HS community in a celebration of the arts in our schools. This year's cast is exceptionally talented and a Sondheim musical is always a treat. "Into the Woods" is a production not to be missed!

Note: "Into the Woods" is not appropriate theater fare for elementary school and younger, less mature middle school children; however, do not worry if you're child's class is going to the school performance on March 10. They are only doing the first act for that performance and the first act is delightfully appropriate for young audiences.
