Open Stage To Present "Into The Woods"

Open Stage, 25 N. Court St., Harrisburg, will present "Into the Woods" on its Capital Blue Cross Main Stage on select dates from Saturday, Feb. 18, to Saturday, March 11. A show on Thursday, March 2, at 7:30 p.m. will be an ASL-interpretated performance. There will be a lobby talk post-performance discussion following the 2 p.m. show on Sunday, Feb. 19.

Directed by producing artistic director Stuart Landon, this production reimagines the Broadway musical by Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine. The musical centers on a baker and his wife and their quest to break a curse that left them childless. The show intertwines multiple fairy tales by the Brothers Grimm and explores the consequences of quests and wishes. The main characters include Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, Rapunzel and Jack from "Jack and the Beanstalk." Landon noted that Open Stage has put a new spin on the show, including setting the action in an abandoned library. "Into the Woods" has a cast of 10 actors, accompanied by a pianist.

Open Stage's production features Robert and Alexis Campbell as The Baker and Baker's Wife; Chloe Acquaviva as Cinderella and Granny; Keel Warner as Rapunzel's Prince, the Stepsister and Milky White; Chris Gibson as the Narrator and Mysterious Man; Tyler Shadle as Jack and Steward; Gabrielle Dina as Little Red and Rapunzel; Chris Krahulec as Jack's Mother and Cinderella's Stepmother; TJ Creedon as Cinderella's Prince, the Wolf and the Stepsister; and Stacey Werner as The Witch.

Musical direction is by Nicholas Werner, costume design is by Jack Weitzel, and lighting design is by Tristan Stasiulis. Property design is by Rachel Landon, and Jess Ross is the stage manager.

The 1987 musical "Into the Woods" won numerous Tony awards and was produced many times on Broadway, off-Broadway, in London and around the world. In 2014, it was also adapted into a film by Disney.
