This year Jennifer Downs returns to the Summer Stars program as Director of INTO THE WOODS Junior. With music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, this shortened version of the award winning show is just right for all audiences. It includes some of the best music and charactors from the full version yet is very kid friendly.

When a Baker and his Wife learn they've been cursed with childlessness by the Witch next door, they embark on a quest for the special objects required to break the
spell, swindling, deceiving and stealing from Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel and Jack (the one who climbed the beanstalk!). With many unforgettable lead/ensemble roles, dancing and chorus, Into The Woods showcases an ensemble of talented singers and actors, where each performer shoulders an equal weight.

Into The Woods is a funny and engaging way to get young people to think about the stories with which they've grown up, and the ethical issues raised therein.
