Description

POINT PLEASANT, NJ — The Point Pleasant Borough High School Performing Arts Department's performance of "Into The Woods" has been pushed back, the school district said. The production is scheduled for Dec. 9-11 at the high school, 830 Laura Herbert Drive. The James Lapine-Stephen Sondheim take on everyone's favorite storybook characters brings them together for a timeless piece, and a rare modern classic. The Tony Award-winning story follows a baker and his wife, who wish to have a child; Cinderella, who wishes to attend the King's Festival; and Jack, who wishes his cow would give milk. When the baker and his wife learn they cannot have a child because of a witch's curse, they set off to break the curse. Everyone's wish is granted, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later with disastrous results. It's one of Sondheim's most popular works. Designers will especially enjoy highlighting the fantastical elements of this magical word, volunteers involved with the production said. The show will be presented at Point Pleasant Borough High School at 7 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 9, at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 10, an. Tickets can be reserved by calling 732-701-1900 ext., 2218.
