INTO THE WOODS

 Music and Lyrics by STEPHEN SONDHEIM

Book by JAMES LAPINE

Originally Directed on Broadway by James Lapine
Orchestrations by Jonathan Tunick

CSUCI Theatre and Performance Studies is proud to present our first-ever Stephen Sondheim musical,Into the Woods!

 Winner of 5 Tony awards, Into the Woods explores what happens when classic fairy characters and their stories intertwine, and the consequences of their wishes coming true. Join Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, the Wicked Witch and more on their journey to pursue their wildest dreams and find out what happily ever after can really mean.

Directed by Theatre & Performance Studies Faculty Laura Covault and  Alumni Griffin Giboney.

Into the Woods has been assigned a rating of PG-13 by Music Theatre International. The musical focuses on the original Brothers Grimm versions of the stories which tend to be “darker” and less “happy ending” focused. There is some material in Act 2 that might frighten very young children, including loud noises, and brief moments of violence, and some deaths as the characters face the villain. Production elements include the use of neon lights that sometimes flash, dim, and change color but are on for the duration of the performance.

This performance runs approximately 2 hours and 45 minutes including one intermission.For more information about the show, please contact instructor, director and producer, laura.covault656@csuci.edu.

Performance Dates:  November 14, 15, 16, 21, 22, 23 at 8 p.m. November 16 and 23 at 2 p.m. Special student matinee-Friday, November 22nd at 11 a.m.

Ticket prices:  

  • CI students: FREE (Dolphin ID required)
