Following the success of 2024’s The Addams Family, Gisborne Secondary College and Kyneton High School reunite this month to present Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s acclaimed musical Into the Woods.
This clever and heartfelt production intertwines beloved fairytales – Cinderella, Jack, Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel – with the story of a baker and his wife, who must break a witch’s curse by collecting magical items.
As wishes are granted, the characters soon discover that every dream comes with a price. With themes of yearning, responsibility and the true meaning of “happily ever after”, the show promises wit, wonder and unforgettable music.
More than 70 students from years seven to 12 are involved in every aspect of the production – from lead roles and ensemble singing to backstage crew, lighting and sound, prop and set construction, and front-of-house operations. This collaboration showcases not only artistic talent but also teamwork, friendship and creativity.
Don’t miss this wonderful showcase of what incredible young people can achieve! Remaining shows are on this Friday, Saturday and Sunday, August 15 to 17, at the Barcham Theatre, Gisborne Secondary College. Tickets are available from www.trybooking.com/DAUCG
