Photos: First Look At INTO THE WOODS At The REV Theatre Company

Tonight, The REV Theatre Company opens their doors to the whimsical world of Into The Woods, playing at Auburn’s Merry-Go-Round Playhouse through July 25. See photos from the production!

The REV invites audiences to immerse themselves in a fairytale world, where all of their favorite childhood characters collide. As each of these characters embarks on their journey ‘into the woods’ in search of something different, they encounter twists and turns in their journeys which bring about wildly unexpected results. Into The Woods is at once enchanting and endearing — a touching and deeply human show about community, responsibility, and the stories we tell our children.

Into The Woods features Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and Book by James Lapine. The REV’s Producing Artistic Director, Brett Smock, is the Director/Choreographer. He is joined by Music Director Jeff Theiss, Assistant Music Director Alex Gutierrez and Associate Director Gavin Mayer.
