Tickets for ASB's production of Stephen Sondheim's and James Lapine's Tony Award winning musical, Into the Woods are on sale now! One of Sondheim's most joyous and beloved works, Into the Woods follows Cinderella, Jack (of beanstalk fame) Rapunzel, a powerful Witch, and the Baker and his wife as they journey into the woods to seek their "happily ever afters." Along the way, they meet a devious Wolf, handsome Princes, and two vengeful Giants--and discover what it might mean to have one's wishes come true. A parable about the joys and sorrows of growing up, and what comes after our "happily ever afters," Into the Woods features a transcendent score, a fabulous book, gorgeous scenic elements lovingly created by the ASB community, and a cast of phenomenal actors supported by our incredible student tech crew. Tickets are on sale now! To purchase tickets for Into the Woods, please go to https://cur8.com/22618/project/131547.
