(Plymouth, MI-Nov. 1st, 2015) Into the Woods is performing at the Plymouth Arts and Recreation Complex (PARC) in Plymouth, Michigan November 19th-22nd and will star all local talent.

One of Stephen Sondheim’s most popular works, Into the Woods takes all your favorite fairy tale characters and brings them together for a timeless yet relevant piece and a rare modern classic. The story follows a Baker and his wife who wish to have a child, Cinderella who wishes to attend the King’s Festival, and Jack who wishes his cow would give milk. When the Baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of a Witch’s curse, the two set off on a journey to break the curse. Everyone’s wish is granted, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later with disastrous results.

“Watch as a cast of extraordinary young adults bring life to your favorite story book characters and learn what lies beyond happily ever after,” states Connor Rhoades of Plymouth, Director, PCEP grad, and theater education student at Eastern Michigan University. “Enjoy a Professional quality theatrical experience in a new and intimate way at the Playhouse at the PARC.” With a complex score written by Stephen Sondheim and an insightful book by James Lapine come see a cast of 17 thoroughly experienced actors take you on a journey through the woods in under three hours.
