Avg. Event Rating (5.0 Stars): Add Review/Comment

The Center for the Performing Arts at PVCC is pleased to present Into the Woods. An ambivalent Cinderella; A blood-thirsty Little Red Ridinghood; A Prince Charming with a roving eye; A Witch...who raps. They're all among the cockeyed characters in James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim's fractured fairy tale. When a Baker and his Wife learn they've been cursed with childlessness by the Witch next door, they embark on a quest for the special objects required to break the spell, swindling, lying to and stealing from Cinderella, Little Red, Rapunzel and Jack (the one who climbed the beanstalk). Everyone's wish is granted at the end of Act One, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later, with disastrous results. What begins as a lively irreverent fantasy in the style of The Princess Bride becomes a moving lesson about community responsibility and the stories people tell their children.

    Saw the Preview Performance last night (6/18).Brilliant cast, more brilliant Director (Mark Stoddard) and mesmerizing choreography. Choreography in ITW, you ask??? Yes, Kathleen has once again summoned her inner Modern Dancer and presents the audience with Nerms that are there with you in the woods, or are they? Great vocalists all around including the Director's son, Philip, who is heading to Juilliard in the fall. Little Red, the Narrator and the Princes are especially entertaining. Beautiful set, terrific staging and lighting design. Costuming well done and includes the witches costume(s) worn by Vanessa Williams in the Broadway production. Not your typical community theater! Director Stoddard will put PVCC Theater on the map with this work! DON'T MISS IT! Collapse
