YOUTH THEATER SHOW #3: MACKEY MAIN STAGE

Into the Woods
Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim<http://www.mtishows.com/show_detail.asp?showid=000106>

Student Matinee: March 3, 2011 at 10:00 a.m.

When a Baker and his Wife learn they've been cursed with childlessness by the Witch next door, they embark on a quest for the special objects required to break the spell, swindling, lying to and stealing from Cinderella, Little Red, Rapunzel and Jack (the one who climbed the beanstalk). In James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim's Tony Award winning fracturing of fairytales, everyone's wish is granted but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later, with disastrous results. What begins a lively irreverent fantasy in the style of "The Princess Bride" becomes a moving lesson about community responsibility and the stories we tell our children.

Auditions are open to all Beck Center students ages 13 - 18.

Based on the universally popular poetry of T.S. Eliot, Cats tells the story, in song and dance, of the annual gathering of Jellicle cats at which time one special cat is selected to ascend to the Heaviside layer. From the composer of The Phantom of the Opera, Evita and Jesus Christ Superstar, this landmark show is pure entertainment from start to finish. A true musical theatre phenomenon, Cats ran for a record-setting 21 years in London and just over 18 years on Broadway.


Auditions will be announced at start of Winter/Spring Semester 2011.
Auditions are open to all Beck Center students ages 6 - 18.
