by Lauren Gienow - Oct 13, 2026
This month, tucked away in the heart of Waterloo’s St. Jacob’s Market District, is a bewitching theatrical experience that is bound to spring up in conversation as rapidly and dramatically as a magical beanstalk might spring up in a backyard.

Review: South Coast Repertory Presents A Revamped INTO THE WOODS
by Michael Quintos - Oct 1, 2026
To celebrate the musical's 40th anniversary, South Coast Reportory recreates INTO THE WOODS with a decisively different approach, one that both entices and, at times, triggers an uneasy vibe (at first) that seems to have permeated out from the show's darker second half.

Selected as its first show for its new 2026-2027 season, this aesthetically-reinvisioned production continues extended performances through October 18, 2026.
