Langston Hughes Performing Arts Center, April 22 - May 30, 2004: ReAct Theatre, Seattle's only Multi-ethnic Philanthropic Theatre Company opens its 11th season with a vibrant multi-ethnic casting of INTO THE WOODS, Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine's ever-popular multiple award-winning musical masterpiece, whose recent Broadway remount won additional Tony Awards, including "Best Musical Revival."
A baker and his wife lead a group of familiar fairy tale favorites, including Cinderella, Rapunzel, Little Red Ridinghood, Jack (of beanstalk fame) and others into this magical realm. Along the way they encounter a witch, a couple of princes, some stepsisters, some giants and of course the big bad wolf as they all tread unfamiliar paths INTO THE WOODS, each searching for their own happily ever afters.
INTO THE WOODS will play Thurs-Sat nights at 7:30pm and Sunday afternoons at 2:00pm. All performances will be held at The Langston Hughes Performing Arts Center, located at 104 Seventeenth Ave S, at the corner of 17th and Yesler in Seattle. Free parking is available throughout the neighborhood or in the Langston Hughes Performing Arts Center Parking Lot located to the southeast of the complex.
