HCTO Presents INTO THE WOODS, Now thru 8/15

By:

Hale Center Theater Orem will present INTO THE WOODS, today, July 2 - August 15, 2015.

A childless BAKER and his wife set out to lift the curse that prevents their family from having children. On their quest "into the woods," they encounter several characters from classic fairy tales, running into LITTLE RED RIDINGHOOD, CINDERELLA, and JACK (of beanstalk fame), to name a few. Each one goes to the woods to fulfill their wish, but are they prepared for the consequences of a "happy" ever after? Re-imagined by director Christopher Clark with fast-paced creativity and humor, INTO THE WOODS is a classic Broadway musical full of both wit and heart, one that promises to take you on a magical journey to learn about families, wishes, and happy endings.

INTO THE WOODS is a Broadway musical featuring music and lyrics by musical theater legend Stephen Sondheim and book by acclaimed filmmaker and screenwriter James Lapine.

Tickets range in price from $16 - $22 each ($6 or $4 less for children). To order tickets visit the Hale Center Theater Orem Box Office, call 801-226-8600 or visit haletheater.org. Please be advised that tickets are already over 55% sold out at opening.
