The return of Arkansas Public Theatre to The Victory Theater and Season 38 marks a significant moment for the community, reviving a beloved tradition in a venue with a rich history. "Into the Woods," the musical chosen for this occasion, promises to captivate audiences with its enchanting tale woven around themes of family, curses, and encounters with iconic storybook characters.

In this production, 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 script 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.
