ABOUT THE SHOW

Be careful what you wish for, as Stephen Sondheim’s and James Lapine’s cockeyed fairytale comes to life in this adaptation of their groundbreaking, Tony Award-winning musical.  Into the Woods JR. features all of your favorite characters — Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack (and his beanstalk) and the Witch — in this lyrically rich retelling of classic Brothers Grimm fables. The musical centers on 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, and wind up changed forever.

ELEPHANT AND PIGGIE’S

“WE ARE IN A PLAY!” JR

Director / Choreographer Shannon Nichols
Music Director Katy Stafford
Stage Manager Emma Grace Denton

ABOUT THE SHOW

Get ready for a musical experience, ripped from the pages of Mo Willems’ best-selling children’s books, that will leave audiences doing the "Flippy Floppy Floory" dance all night long! In Elephant & Piggie’s “We Are in a Play!” JR, Gerald and Piggie take to the stage in a rollicking adventure. An elephant named Gerald and a pig named Piggie are “bestus” friends, but Gerald worries that something could go wrong, ending their friendship. Piggie isn’t worried at all. She’s even happier and more excited than usual because they’ve been invited to a party hosted by the Squirrelles, three singing squirrels who love to have a good time. And so begins a day when anything is possible.
