Review: St. Petersburg College Theater Department's INTO THE WOODS
by Peter Nason - Jun 29, 2025

It’s safe to say that Into the Woods is Stephen Sondheim’s most produced and most popular work. Schools, community theaters, and probably even psychiatric hospitals have taken a stab at it.  It offers something for everyone: For the kiddos, it’s a cool retelling of the classic stories and fairy tales that have been around for ages
