NEW CENTURY CHARTER SCHOOL ANNOUNCES IT’S
SIXTH ANNUAL THEATRE PRODUCTION
“Into the Woods”
music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
and book by James Lapine
The students of New Century Charter School in Hutchinson, MN are presenting the musical “Into the Woods” at the Maplewood Academy Auditorium on Thursday, February 26th and Saturday, February 28th at 7:00 PM, and Sunday, March 1st at 2:00 PM.
“Into the Woods”, produced and directed by Sheila Hendricks & Terry Kempfert is starring 35 local 7th – 12th grade students. Inspired by Bruno Bettelheim's 1976 book, The Uses of Enchantment, the musical intertwines the plots of several Brothers Grimm fairy tales and follows them further to explore the consequences of the characters' wishes and quests. The main characters are taken from the stories of Little Red Ridinghood, Jack and the Beanstalk, Rapunzel, and Cinderella, tied together by a more original story involving a Baker and his wife and their quest to begin a family, most likely taken from the original story of Rapunzel by the Brothers Grimm. It also includes references to several other well-known tales.
Production of this sixth-annual theatrical experience for the school will not only challenge students’ drama and musical skills but also incorporate many additional roles in the design and creation of sets, costumes, props, lighting, sound, and additional tasks involved in producing a musical of this type.
Doors will open at 6:15 PM on performance nights and 1:15 PM on Sunday. Location is changed this year and all performances will be held at the Maplewood Academy, 700 Main St. N. in Hutchinson, MN. Tickets are available beginning February 9th at New Century Charter School, 1000 5th Ave SE. For more information please call the school at 234-3660.
