On Stage This Weekend - "Into the Woods"

Taking the stage this weekend is First Stage Theatre Company's production of the musical Into the Woods.

It'll be presented at the Jean C. Stephenson Auditorium (upstairs at Huntington City Hall). The show will run at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Nov. 13-14, 4 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 15, 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Nov. 20-21, and 4 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 22

This is the full version of the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and the book by James Lapine. The duo presents a cock-eyed view of everyone's favorite fairytale characters in this hysterical take on the Brothers Grimm. 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 - they'll need items from Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel and Jack (who climbed the beanstalk).

Tickets are $12 and $10 children 12 and under. Call 304-416-KIDS for info or 304-733-4909.
