For the first time, Rapunzel will hit the stage this month at Elm Street Cultural Arts Village in downtown Woodstock.

The tale has become more popular over the years, as several different versions have been produced on the screen and stage. Elm Street is thrilled to bring its own version with a hairy twist.

“The show really brings a different side of the tale,” sid Siobhan Brumbelow, writer of the script. “It takes a different approach to the story, we really set out to tackle the notion that ‘things aren’t always what they seem,’ especially with traditional fairy tales.”

The play tells the story of Rapunzel and her family, but you might discover that the witch may actually have the best intentions. The show is a journey that will have the whole family enjoying the moments that are created.

“We are also really excited about the numerous amount of people who are working on this project,” said Christopher Brazelton, staff member at Elm Street. “Many returning, but not necessarily to act - which gives the show an added level of anticipation.”

Andrew Berardi is making his directorial debut at Elm Street after being on the stage during Thoroughly Modern Millie and Kristin Storla, a long time actress and regular with the Atlanta Shakespeare Company, has returned to Woodstock to be the fight choreographer.

The production has resurfaced some not-so-common methods to creating the story as well. Using puppetry art, musical underscoring and songs, and fight choreography, the show is bound to make audiences thrilled they went.

Shows will take place at 10 a.m. Wednesdays, Jul 15, 22, 29 for families to see during the summer and 2 p.m. July 18,19, 25, and 26.

Tickets are $10 in advance and $12 at the door. Group rates are available upon request.
