The Pacific Conservatory Theatre (PCPA) presents its summer production of Into the Woods, which will debut on Thursday, Aug. 11, and run through Sunday, Sept. 4, at the Solvang Festival Theater. The show previously ran at the Marian Theatre in Santa Maria in April and May.
The plot of this popular musical—with songs by legendary composer and lyricist Stephen Sondheim—interweaves a variety of classic fairy tale and storybook characters, including Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, and the Big Bad Wolf. Roger DeLaurier, the director behind PCPA’s iteration of Into the Woods, described the musical as a “fascinating, funny, and heartfelt piece of theatre,” in press materials.
“The density of ideas, lyrics, music, and plot make Into the Woods a wonderful challenge for us as a company and for our audiences,” DeLaurier said in a statement.
The large ensemble cast of Into the Woods includes Yusef Seevers, Lexi Rhoades, Emily Trask, Erik Stein, Suzy Newman, Sydney Ennis, Cat Evans, Sierra Anastasi, Ekaterina Bouras, Gracie Jurczyk, Rhys Avants, George Walker, and others. The show is choreographed by Jay Brenneman and features sets designed by Jason Bolen and costumes by Sara Curran Ice.
Tickets to Into the Woods range between $43.50 and $55. The show is recommended for ages 8 and older. No children under age 5 will be admitted. To find out more about the production, call the PCPA box office at (805) 922-8313 or visit pcpa.org.
