PlayMakers Repertory Company announces that due to popular demand the theater has added a holiday performance to the schedule of its hit production "Into the Woods." The Thanksgiving Weekend performance will be on Saturday, Nov. 29 at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets to the Nov. 29 performance are offered at a special "Holiday Price" of $50 each. Limited premium area seating is also available.

The Stephen Sondheim musical has received audience and critical acclaim calling the PlayMakers' production "oh-so-right" "outshines the original" (The News & Observer), "fantastical, fabulous and foreboding fun" (Triangle Arts & Entertainment), "a wonder" (The Daily Tar Heel) and "in a word, enchanting" (The Five Points Star).

"Into the Woods" is a multiple Tony Award-winning musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and book by James Lapine. The show was originally directed on Broadway by James Lapine with orchestrations by Jonathan Tunick.

Beginning with a childless couple, a witch and a curse, "Into the Woods" reveals the shadow side of classic fairytales by the Brothers Grimm in a funny and poignant exploration of the wishes we make, and what happens when they really do come true.

Producing Artistic Director Joseph Haj directs. He has directed some of PlayMakers' most popular entertainments including musicals "Cabaret" and "Big River."

"Into the Woods" is presented through Dec. 7 in rotating repertory with William Shakespeare's beloved romantic comedy "A Midsummer Night's Dream."

Tickets are still available to both shows individually or as part of PlayMakers' 2014/15 subscription packages. For a complete schedule, more information and to purchase tickets, call the PlayMakers Box Office at (919) 962-PLAY (7529) or visit www.playmakersrep.org.

Performances are in the Paul Green Theatre in UNC's Department for Dramatic Art on Country Club Road, Chapel Hill. Show times are 7:30 p.m. Tuesdays through Sundays and 2 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays.

The Drama League of New York has named PlayMakers one of the best regional theaters in America.
