INTO THE WOODS

presented by New Jersey Youth Actors

directed by Max Rodriguez

Nothing touches our imaginations more deeply than a story that begins with those four magic words, “Once Upon A Time.” This year, New Jersey Youth Actors, a theatre group made up of youth artists from all around the state of New Jersey, is setting out to redream these childhood stories and to explore what happens after “Happily Ever After.” The result is the enchanting, “Into the Woods.” In a far-off kingdom there lived a maiden named Cinderella (Annika Helgeson), who wished to attend a king’s festival and encounters a charming prince (Jack Hicks), a lad named Jack (Nathan Schwed), forced to sell his beloved cow for food to eat, a young girl in a red cape, in search of her grandmother’s house (Rebecca Candeloro), and a Baker (Ryan Quish) and his Wife (Mia Montero), who learn that the only way to lift a Witch’s (Annabel DelGiorno) curse of a childless life, is by retrieving four mysterious objects: A cow as white as milk, a cape as red blood, hair as yellow as corn, and slippers and pure as gold. To achieve their wishes, these characters must journey into the woods, where they will make choices, learn more about themselves and the world they live in, and realize that “No One Is Alone.”

“Into the Woods” will be performed on Sunday, August 25, 2019 at 5pm at the Nash Theater at RVCC – visit rvccarts.com for online tickets!

Directed by Max Rodriguez (Sophomore), musically directed by Matthew White (Graduated Senior), and with a crew organized by Stage Manager, Mady Weber (Sophomore), the production is comprised of an all youth cast, crew, and production team from Basking Ridge, Bernardsville, Berkley Heights, and Hasbrouck Heights who are thrilled to be telling this beautiful story.
