Possum Point Players INTO THE WOODS Goes Beyond Ever After
If all who go "Into the Woods" get their wishes fulfilled, does everyone live happily ever after? Find out when Possum Point Players present the award winning Stephen Sondheim musical Sept. 30, Oct. 1, 2, 7, 8, and 9. The show features actors from ten communities from central Delaware to the southern tip of the state.
Friday and Saturday shows are at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday matinees are at 2 p.m. All seats are reserved and tickets are $23 for adults and $22 for students and senior citizens. To purchase tickets, call 302-856-4560, or buy on line at www.possumpointplayers.org.
The beloved fairy tales Sondheim draws upon do all seem to end with families and friends strolling off into the thickets or settling into a castle, all blissful and guaranteed happiness ever after. However, maybe those carefree characters didn't have to contend with the likes of the Witch (Donna de Kuyper) as do the Baker (Steven Dow) and the Baker's Wife (Lorraine Steinhoff). Poor Cinderella (Sarah Rose) not only has to suffer wicked stepsisters Lucinda and Florinda (Kyra Cutsail and Ashlie Workman), she also ends up with a philandering and unfaithful Prince (Steve Givens).
In his ill-fated adventures with a beanstalk, Jack (Devon Lynch) brings so much terror and destruction down on his village, his Mother (Cheryl Graves) is ready to forsake golden harps and hens laying golden eggs. And, no one much cares that a mouthy and precocious Little Red Riding Hood (Abby Ruark) has survived being eaten by a nasty Wolf (Hunter Graves).
Perhaps only the Mysterious Man (Max Dick) knows what happens at the final curtain. "Into the Woods" is directed by Kenney Workman and Stacey Hartman, and their lips are sealed.
Into the Woods is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI; 421 West 54th Street; New York, NY 10019; Phone: 212-541-4684; Fax: 212-397-4684; http://www.mtishows.com/.
Possum Point Players is supported, in part, by grants from the Delaware Division of the Arts, a state agency dedicated to nurturing and supporting the arts in Delaware, in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts.
