Vanguard Theater is presenting Into the Woods, running December 4–21, 2025, at Vanguard Theater in the heart of Montclair. The newly released First Look production photos by Kyle Watkins Photography offer a glimpse into this bold, imaginative staging, opening tonight as part of Vanguard’s milestone 10-Year Anniversary Season.
“With Into the Woods, Stephen Sondheim dares us to step into the forest—into the unknown—where our desires, fears, and choices collide. The musical reminds us that community is forged not in the perfection of fairy tales, but in the messiness of reality.”
This vision reflects Vanguard’s core belief in theater as a mirror of life’s complexity.
