by Gabrielle Sierra - Dec 19, 2008


Village Theatre KIDSTAGE TeenSelect produces Into The Woods, running January 9-18, 2009 at First Stage Theatre. Into the Woods tells a story that combines all of your favorite fairy tale characters and brings them to life in a brand new way. Featuring the talents of local kids between the seventh to twelfth grades, KIDSTAGE will reinvent the story of the Baker and his wife as they learn they've been cursed by the witch next door and are sent on an adventure to gather the special objects to break the spell that will allow them to have a child. Although many wishes are granted, these characters begin to understand that the consequences of their actions and desires may return to haunt them later, with disastrous results. What begins as a lively fantasy becomes a moving lesson about community responsibility and the stories we tell our children.
