Threshold Stage Company's innovative staging of "Into the Woods" this holiday season at the Star Theatre in Kittery, Maine envelops the audience in Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine's modern fairytale, immersing the viewer in the middle of the outrageously entangled lives of Cinderella, Rapunzel, Jack and the Giant and many other fairytale characters as they strive to make their wishes come true at any price.
'The show is chocked full of camp and kitschy humor, making for a perfect date night or family outing.'

What do you get when you combine a talented young playwright, an excellent cast that includes five up-and-coming actors and two beloved veterans of local stages, stirring a capella gospel music arranged by a local musical legend, and the Twin Cities' best director of 'theater musically?' You get CHOIR BOY, a lovely and affecting play about a young gay man coming of age in an African American boarding school. The playwright is Tarell Alvin McCraney of the excellent Brother/Sister trilogy that Pillsbury House Theatre has produced in its entirety in the last several years. While those plays have an epic, mythical quality, CHOIR BOY is more grounded in reality, but just as beautifully written. Add in musical direction and arrangement by Sanford Moore and direction by Peter Rothstein, an expert at using music in the best possibly way to enhance the theatrical storytelling, and you have something quite special going on in the Guthrie's Dowling Studio.
