Producers Ray Limon and Joshua Carr open the Desert Theatricals 2026–2027 season with a stunning production of the 1986 Stephen Sondheim/James Lapine musical Into the Woods. Into the Woods is an ambitious piece of theater, like much of the Sondheim canon. At face value, it is an amalgamation of well-known fairy tales: Cinderella, Rapunzel, Jack and the Beanstalk, and Little Red Riding Hood. Woven into the story is a baker and his wife, longing for a child but unable to have one until they reverse a curse placed on the baker's family by the witch who lives next door. The story begins, 'Once upon a time!' What follows a simple 'I wish' from the many characters is a complex, multilayered tale that leads them on a journey into the woods. But in achieving their hearts' desires, they discover the consequences of getting what they wish for.
