Archmere Dramatics Presents: "Into the Woods"

The Archmere Academy Drama Club is proud to present its Spring Musical, the Stephen Sondheim classic, Into the Woods. This stunning Broadway musical won several Tony awards in 1987 including Best Book and Best Score for a Musical. Into the Woods weaves together multiple Brothers Grimm fairy tales, exploring the themes of dreams and “being careful what you wish for”.
The musical centers around the main storyline of the Baker and the Baker’s Wife (played by junior Rob Smith and senior Alexis Rendel) and their desire to have a child. Together they must try to undo a spell put on them by their neighbor, the Witch, who is portrayed by junior Ella Bellace. As they venture into the woods to find ingredients for the spell, they run into several characters from other fairy tales who have also gone into the woods in search of adventures and to chase their dreams. Little Red Ridinghood (played by senior Gianna Abbrescia), Jack of the Jack and the Beanstalk story (played by freshman Jack Maister), and Cinderella (played by junior Amanda Treston), among others, run into the Bakers and chaos ensues. Over thirty students will be a part of this wonderfully talented cast and crew.  

Into the Woods twists farcical and touching theatrical moments with songs written by Broadway legend Stephen Sondheim. The show will make you laugh, cry, question your own wishes and reaffirm the value of love and family.

Performances for Into the Woods have been postponed.
