"Into the Woods" is an adult fairy tale that combines the well-known fairy tales of Cinderella, Rapunzel, Jack and the Beanstalk and Little Red Riding Hood with the story of the Baker and his Wife who desperately want a child.
Unfortunately, the Baker and his Wife have been cursed with childlessness by a witch and must perform various missions involving the characters in the other fairy tales to break the spell. But as the characters go after their desires, they learn that no deed comes without consequences.
"The show really makes you think about the stories that you heard as children in a new way," says director Kathy Hawkins. "And in the end, the message is about treasuring the relationships you have in your life. It's a really lovely musical."
The play features the talents of Warsaw residences Thomas Hall as Cinderella's Prince and Christine Thompson accompanying on the piano.Other cast members include Terry McKee (Narrator), David Moan (the Baker), Sarah Hawkins Moan (the Baker's Wife), Jennifer Reichenbach (Cinderella), Heidi Lovett (Little Red Riding Hood), Charles Lovett (Jack), Debbie Chinworth (Jack's Mother), Emily Perkins (the Witch), Rachel Chapman (Florinda), Emily Lynn (Lucinda), Katharine Ings (Cinderella's Stepmother), Brandon Gray (Mysterious Man), Eric Reichenbach (Wolf/Rapunzel's Prince), Angelina Jung (Granny/Steward), Kaylee Hawley (Rapunzel), Erin Lynn (Milky White) and Olivia Watson (Birds).
