OTHER

Artistry Theater is grateful to be creating theater again with and for our community. As we prepare to re-open we are mindful of the events of the past 15 months - what we have lost and what we have learned. We are committed to creating a more inclusive and equitable space for all to see themselves in the magic of this art form we love. We are putting practices into place to make sure we are safe, have room to be brave and to create space that is intentional in its diversity and accessibility.

BREAKDOWN

INTO THE WOODS

In Into the Woods, Stephen Sondheim takes treasured storybook characters and brings them together for a timeless, yet relevant piece. Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, Jack, The Baker, and others travel through the woods seeking magic items from friends and foes, learning lessons and asking questions to which they never knew they needed answers.

Into the Woods will be directed by Sally Wingert, Sally Wingert is a Twin Cities theater artist primarily known as an actor. She directed The Whipping Man for Minnesota Jewish Theater, now known as Six Points Theater. Although her directing credits are slim she has literally been in hundreds of rehearsal rooms and learned by watching some of the best directors in the country. “I hope that folx will join me on the thrill of this journey.”
