ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï Theatre to finish season with "Into the Woods"
ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï Theatre will finish its 2017-2018 season with the Tony Award-winning musical Into the Woods, based on the book by James Lapine. Music and lyrics are by Stephen Sondheim. Into the Woods was originally directed on Broadway by James Lapine with orchestrations by Jonathan Tunick. The original Broadway production was produced by Heidei Landesman, Rocco Landesman, Rick Steiner, M. Anthony Fisher, Frederick H. Mayerson, and Jujamcyn Theaters. Into the Woods was originally produced by the Old Globe Theater, San Diego, CA. The production runs April 19-22 in the ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï Performance Center located in UC east on ºÚÁϳԹÏ's campus.
Directed by Eric Altheide, Into the Woods reimages the fairy tale characters popularized by the works of the Brothers Grimm in a much darker light. Brought together, among others, are Cinderella, Jack, the Baker, Little Red Riding Hood, and Rapunzel, who wish to change their lives. In the end, everyone receives their wishes, but consequences of choosing new paths in life bring heartbreaking results.
Altheide will be joined by a design team including ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï faculty member Paul Weimer as scenic designer; ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï staff member Kevin Gray as sound designer; ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï staff member Maya Fein as lighting designer; ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï staff member Andy Hammond as technical designer; ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï staff member Shan Jensen as costume designer; ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï adjunct faculty member Matthew Moore as choreographer; Patrick Ritsch as music director; and ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï student Robin Lusby as production stage manager.
The cast of Into the Woods includes ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï students Otto Mullins, Jacey Stewart, Jason Honesto, Paige Murray, Hadin Hart, Maggie Browne, Jesmelia Williams, Hannah Jones, Alicia Allen, Cole Henrich, Gaby Rivera, Ashleigh Dulik, Morgan Book, Allen Karch, Zoie Hunter, Allen Harbold, Noah Theriac, Talia Crist, Lauren Grady, Aaron Nulton, and Kyle Burgess.
