The Arts Hub Players present their Mainstage production of Into the Woods, directed by Lexi Lazear. Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s Tony Award–winning musical intertwines the journeys of Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack, Rapunzel, and the Baker and his Wife as they set out to fulfill their deepest wishes. As their stories weave together in the mysterious forest, the consequences of those wishes unfold in ways that are both darkly comic and profoundly moving. With Sondheim’s unforgettable score and Lazear’s inventive direction, this Mainstage production features a talented adult cast in a theatrical experience that is both enchanting and thought-provoking, inviting audiences to discover what really happens after “happily ever after.”
