They will be presenting a junior version of the play from Music Theatre International, which will leave out some of the more adult and dark elements from the Broadway show. This version promises to be light, fast-paced, and fun for the whole family. Performances of Into the Woods will span two weekends. Cast B will perform on Friday, April 27, and Saturday, April 28, at 7 p.m., and on Sunday, April 29, at 3 p.m. Cast A will perform on Friday, May 4, and Saturday, May 5, at 7 p.m., and Sunday, May 6, at 3 p.m. All shows will be performed at the school's theatre and are open to the public.
Admission is by donation.
Into the Woods has involved the help of many of the staff and parents of Chocachatti. Lee Caltagirone designed the drawings for each costume, then students' parents either made them or found someone to help them make them. Staff member Liz Wheeler created Cinderella's ball gown and Carol Ballard made the coats for the princes. Technical aspects of the show are being directed by Coach Bruce Morgan. Art teacher Gail Sullivan is the artistic director and the sets were built by Bruce Morgan and Fred Cassidy.
