Cinderella wants to go to the ball. Jack needs his cow to give milk. Little Red is off to Grandma’s. And a Baker and his Wife are desperate to break a family curse. But when they all head into the woods to chase their wishes, they find that getting what you want isn’t always what you need.

Packed with humor, heart, and unforgettable songs, Into the Woods Jr. is a fast-paced musical adventure perfect for audiences of all ages. 

Come see what happens after once upon a time — and before happily ever after.

Hysteria runs rampant in Puritan Salem, Massachusetts. A group of young girls and a slave were found dancing in the woods and conjuring spells. After one of the girls falls ill, the town suspects it is the work of the devil and local witches. However, all is not what it seems. John Proctor, a local farmer, suspects that the local witchcraft is not witchcraft at all, but the invention of a scorned teenage girl. Neighbour turns on neighbour as Proctor fights to restore sense to the town and save many from the hangman’s noose.
