Into the Woods: “Be careful what you wish for” seems to be the ongoing theme in Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s Brothers Grimm inspired musical, Into the Woods. The story follows The Baker and his wife who wish to have a child, Cinderella who wishes to go to the King’s Festival, and Jack who wishes his cow would give some milk. When the Baker and his wife are visited by the neighborhood witch, who reveals to them that she placed a curse on their family, the two set off on a journey into the woods to reverse the curse. Also in the woods, we meet Little Red, who is trying to visit her grandmother, the Wolf who loves tasty little girls, the Witch’s daughter Rapunzel, and the Princes chasing after their loves. By the end of Act I, everyone has gotten their wish and will seemingly live happily ever after. But in Act II, when Jack’s beanstalk brings them a visit from an angry Giant, we see how the consequences of their actions haunt them in disastrous ways. The community must come together to save each other and their kingdom, but sacrifices must be made.

The Broadway Melody
2025-02-01 09:00 - 11:00
The Broadway Melody (1929) was the first film to win the Academy Award for Best Picture, achieving this at the 2nd Academy Awards in 1930. With a modest budget of $379,000, it grossed an impressive $4.4 million at the box office. The film featured an early attempt to use Technicolor, though this sequence only survives in black and white today. Classified as a “backstage musical,” the film delves into the behind-the-scenes drama of performers. Some of its songs, including “You Were Meant for Me,” were later reused in other classic musicals like “Singin’ in the Rain” (1952). The production was hastily done under MGM’s head of production, Irving Thalberg, who feared it might not succeed, yet it became a massive hit and set the stage for future musicals.
Tickets available at the door.
