Be careful what you wish for, as Stephen Sondheim’s and James Lapine’s cockeyed fairytale comes to life in this adaptation of their groundbreaking, Tony Award-winning musical.  Into the Woods JR. features all of your favorite characters — Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack (and his beanstalk) and the Witch — in this lyrically rich retelling of classic Brothers Grimm fables.

The musical centers on 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, and wind up changed forever.

Alachua Children’s Theatre was created by Ms. Amber in 2023 to share the joy of theatre with her three children and the youth of our community. Everyone who auditions for an A.C.T. production will be cast! Participating in Children’s Theatre fosters creativity, builds confidence, and improves communication skills. At A.C.T. children can practice theater technique and expand their repertoire, while making friendships and memories to last a lifetime! Ms. Amber met Assistant Director & Set Designer, Ms. Alison, when the two were in Children’s Theatre over thirty years ago. Together they lead our talented Production Team!
