"Into The Woods"
Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Book by James Lapine
Directed by Norm Jones
Music Directed by Jess Modaff
One of the most beloved and critically acclaimed musicals, Into the Woods provides a montage of fairy tale characters whose paths interwine as they chase their deepest hopes and dreams through an enchanted forest. When they find their happily ever after, they discover that "wishes come true, not free." Sondheim's words remind us to choose our paths thoughtfully and to remember that indeed, "no one is alone." Into the Woods is a musical that appeals to both the heart and the head.
Collaboration between the Department of Music and the Theatre Arts program.
We are excited you plan to join us for Theatre Experience Day where students will participate in workshops, attend a matinee performance, and meet professors and students in the department. This day will give you a glimpse into life at Gordon and what it looks like to be a member of the theatre department on campus. See you there!
