Into the Woods-A CYT+ Show for ages 13-20
James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim take everyone's favorite storybook characters and bring them together for a timeless, yet relevant, piece... and a rare modern classic. The Tony Award-winning book and score are both enchanting and touching.
The 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 that they cannot have a child because of a Witch's curse, the two set off on a journey to break the curse. Everyone's wish is granted, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later with disastrous results.
One of Sondheim's most popular works, Into the Woods is a musically sophisticated show with the opportunity to feature actors adept at dark comedy. Designers will especially enjoy highlighting the fantastical elements of this magical word.
(PLEASE NOTE, THIS SHOW IS FOR AGES 13-20 due to mature themes.)

What is a CYT+ and how does it work?
A CYT+ is an audition based show for ages 13-20. We will audition in June and the rehearsals will happen over an intense 2 week process (9am-4pm daily). Those auditioning should be ready to do the work AHEAD of July rehearsals and come in OFF BOOK (knowing all lines/solos/duets for their role).
This will be a rigorous theater experience.

Audition info: Sign Ups will start May 9 (This is a change from May 1!)
For audition, please prepare a 1min 30sec song that shows your range. Act it out as you sing! (We will not be doing monologues for auditions-just the song. No dance auditions for this show.) Please note, this is a difficult show and we only have 2 weeks in person. This means you should not audition unless you are ready to put in the work on your own time. Those who get a solo or duet should come to camp knowing it and just needing to clean it.

We plan to double cast the show to give more people an opportunity. Each cast will perform 3 shows.

Auditions: June 2 2pm- 6pm at Kingdom Baptist Church

You may list conflicts for one performance weekend but all rehearsals during the July 6-July 17 and the July 23 Tech rehearsal for the second weekend(if that is your cast) are mandatory.  

In addition to the mandatory rehearsals, we will have three strongly encouraged rehearsals on June 11 from 10am-1pm, June 20 10am-3pm and June 23 from 4:30-8pm.  During the two weeks of rehearsals, there could be work nights at the warehouse to help with sets.  It is mandatory to attend at least one of the work nights.
