The school's theater director, Gerard Dzuiblinski, describes the musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim as the blending of drama, fantasy, comedy and examining the fairy tale characters' wishes and consequences.
"'Into the Woods' is a musical told for adults, and the individual stories interweave in such a way that ultimately everyone finds themselves in the same story," said Dzuiblinski in a press release.
The audience can anticipate spectacular musicianship under the musical direction of CUAA music professor Karl Schmidt, and a visually engaging set designed by CUAA's visual art department chair, professor Beth Steinkellner.
"With the large cast, you would expect some roles to be smaller, but in our production of 'Into the Woods,' every cast member has an important part," Rebecca Johnstone, CUAA sophomore, who joins the cast as Little Red Riding Hood, said in a press release.
