[FLCC News] St. Anne's Stages Presents "Into the Woods"

[Fair Lawn Community Center News]

St. Anne Stages proudly presents INTO THE WOODS at the Fair Lawn Community
Center Theater this November 6-8 and 13-16, 2008.

"I wish."

An ambivalent Cinderella? A blood-thirsty Little Red Ridinghood? A Prince
Charming with a roving eye? A Witch...who raps? They're all among the
cockeyed characters in James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim's fractured fairy
tale. 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, lying to and stealing from
Cinderella, Little Red, Rapunzel and Jack (the one who climbed the
beanstalk). Everyone's wish is granted at the end of Act One, but the
consequences of their actions return to haunt them later, with disastrous
results. What begins as a lively irreverent fantasy in the style of "The
Princess Bride" becomes a moving lesson about community responsibility and
the stories we tell our children. 

One of Sondheim's most popular works, this timeless yet relevant piece is a
rare modern classic.

Featuring an almost entirely Fair Lawn cast with direction by Eric Knitel,
musical direction by Jalmari Vanamo and co-sponsored by St. Anne Stages and
the Borough of Fair, this production is surely not to be missed!
