Into the Woods

is a musical presented at Bonstelle Theatre, the undergraduate performance venue for Wayne State University students.

The first act of Into the Woods reviews the major events and happy endings of several fairy tales including Jack and his beanstalk, Little Red Riding Hood, and Rapunzel, all living in the same kingdom. Then the second act follows up on the happy endings and shows us what might have happened if time were to progress past the happy endings and the giant's wife, angry over the loss of her husband, had confronted the people of the kingdom.

I am always impressed with the level of the students' performances. Singing, dancing, acting, speaking all indicate successful days in their future days in professional theater.
