Into the Woods Jr. tells a refreshing tale with characters we hold near and dear. With Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack, Rapunzel, and the Witch, a baker and his wife trudge into the woods to break a curse and fulfill their dream of having a child.
Director and choreographer, Christina Ramirez, supports her cast to explore their innate talent in an impressive combination of direction and education. The cast participated in a master class with ATC alumnus, current cast member of Broadway’s Sweeney Todd, Nathan Salstone.
Joining Ramirez on the production team are Heidi Joosten (music director) and Clara Radcliffe (stage manager).
Kade Burroughs, Isabella Ouellette, and Greer Goldberg lead the story as the Baker, Baker’s Wife, and Witch, along with Helena Sprajcer, Catharina Araujo, Ellis Myers, Skyler VanKlompenberg, Tessa Pundsack, Emma Calia, Drew Halliday, and Mina Amin.
Pippin highlights the incredible acting, singing, and dancing abilities of the cast through its captivating story of a Prince, Pippin, who goes to war for his father, only to betray him at the influence of the Leading Player.
Director, Adam Goldstein, is a veteran teacher and director for ATC. In preparation for the performances, Goldstein and ATC brought in certified Fosse/Verdon Legacy instructor and Broadway veteran Jane Lanier to teach a Fosse-style dance master class.
Joining Goldstein on the production team are Madelyne Forrester (choreographer), Missy Wise Vanderzee (music director), and Emily Marrazzo (stage manager).
At the center of this story are Ali Gregorio as the Leading Player and Charlie Corley as Pippin, supported by Anna Kate McDowell, Liesel Duggan, Charlie Bliwas, Tommy Grant, Amelie Thai-Garcia, Catharina Araujo, Ben Czaplewski, Gabriel Herman, Rain Kite, Caitlin Lefebvre, Evelyn Pricco, Sadie Snyder, and Naiya Stavropoulos Wintroub.
