The twists and turns of several fairy tales taken from the Brothers Grimm are intertwined in the next Eastern Mennonite University theater offering, Into the Woods<\/em><\/a>, a musical by Steven Sondheim with book by James Lapine.<\/p>\n

Directed by Justin Poole<\/a>, assistant professor of theater<\/a> at EMU, Into the Woods<\/em> will be performed in the Main Stage Theater at 7:30 p.m. on April 4, 5, 10, 11 and 12, plus a 3 p.m. matinee on Sunday, April 6. The show will run approximately three hours with intermission.<\/p>\n

Information regarding age-appropriateness for EMU events is available through the\u00a0theater office<\/a>\u00a0at 540-432-4360 or\u00a0theater@emu.edu.<\/a><\/p>\n

Into the Woods<\/em> weaves together the main characters from fairy tales like Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the Beanstalk, Rapunzel, Cinderella<\/em> and others.\u00a0The story revolves around a childless baker and his wife on a quest to begin a family, and their interaction with a witch who has placed a curse on them.\u00a0In a departure from the standard plot line, the musical explores the consequences of these characters’ wishes.<\/p>\n

“Into the Woods<\/em> is a sprawling story filled to the brim with complex characters and dark magic,” said Poole. “The story provides ample opportunities to push the limits of our imaginations as we explore innovative ways to stage complex theatrical moments. I want audiences to leave the theater feeling that they have had a visceral, engaging experience that transcends what they have felt while watching a film or other mediated form of entertainment.”<\/p>\n

Reserved tickets are $15 for adults ($17 at the door) and $12 for seniors, non-EMU students and EMU faculty\/staff ($14 at the door) and $6 for EMU students. Tickets are available through EMU\u2019s box office: 540-432-4582, emu.edu\/box-office\/<\/a>. Group rates are available.<\/p>\n
