The musical鈥攂ased on a book by James Lapine鈥攊ntertwines the plots of several Brothers
Grimm fairy tales and follows them to explore the consequences of the characters鈥�
wishes and quests.
The main characters are taken from 鈥淟ittle Red Riding Hood,鈥� 鈥淛ack and the Beanstalk,鈥�
鈥淩apunzel,鈥� and 鈥淐inderella,鈥� as well as several others.
The musical is tied together by an original story involving a childless baker and
his wife, their quest to begin a family, their interaction with a witch who has placed
a curse on them, and their interaction with other storybook characters during their
journey.
鈥淚nto the Woods鈥� is directed by Robin Stephens, associate professor of dance, with
music direction by Dr. Jason Rinehart, associate professor and director of athletic
bands.
KEDM Public Radio will host a Director鈥檚 Gala from 5-7 p.m., on Saturday, April 5,

The Gala is a catered event, which provides the opportunity for patrons to mingle
