Silver Spotlight Theatre’s production of Stephen Sondheim’s Into The Woods opens Thursday, November 21
LONDON, ON – After months of rehearsal and preparation, the curtain will lift on Silver Spotlight Theatre’s production of Stephen Sondheim’s Tony Award-winning Into The Woods on Thursday, November 21 at the Auburn Theatre.
“Our team has worked tirelessly over these past several months getting the show ready to bring to an audience. We look forward to welcoming them as we journey Into the Woods,” says Cindi Armer-Almeida, the show’s producer.
Into The Woods is a playful and enchanting yet perilous woodland adventure that follows some of the Brothers Grimm’s most beloved fairytale characters like Cinderella, Jack, Rapunzel, Little Red Riding Hood, a wolf, a giant, and even a handsome prince or two, as they search for their wishes. Their stories collide in the woods where things do not always appear as they seem.
When patrons walk through the doors of the Auburn Theatre for Silver Spotlight Theatre’s production of Stephen Sondheim’s Into The Woods, they will notice something radically different about the show’s staging. Eschewing the traditional rows of seats and proscenium staging, the production uses a theatre-in-the-round approach that immerses the audience in the action. Director Rick Smith says this approach provides a more intimate setting for audiences and lets them experience the show from a different angle, literally and figuratively.
Into The Woods continues until December 1, 2024. Tickets are available at www.grandtheatre.com/event/mtp-woods
