"The Brothers Grimm hit the stage with an epic fairytale about wishes, family and the choices we make.

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 book 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 with the opportunity to feature actors adept at dark comedy. Designers will especially enjoy highlighting the fantastical elements of this magical word." (www.mtishows.com)

The South Vermillion Theatre Program is an extra-curricular high school program at South Vermillion High School. Though technically a "high school" program, we often invite students in grades 4 through 8 to audition to be a part of our productions, because we believe that theatre is a medium that transcends all ages. We also believe that theatre and the performing arts are of significant value in a student's education. Through involvement with the theatre, students are able to learn the value of critical feedback, comprehend the world through empathy, develop cognitive abilities, enhance communication with their peers, build self-confidence, and explore varying emotions in a safe, creative environment.

In its seventh season under the direction of Mrs. Jacqueline Roberts, the SV Theatre Program offers a scholarship to students who have participated in the program, and are planning to continue their higher education in any of the Performing Arts fields. We believe in supporting our students as they strive to attain their dreams, and this scholarship is one small way we are able to do so.
