You might think you know the real stories of Little Red, Cinderella, Jack, and Rapunzel, but when a Baker and his wife learn of the curse placed upon their house by the Witch next door, their quest to break the spell will cause fairy tales to collide. As expected, wishes are granted and dreams come true, but in this epic musical, ‘happily ever after’ is not always what it seems because wishes have consequences, princes have flaws, and a giant seeks revenge. </span></p></div><div class="ecxOutlineElement ecxLtr ecxSCX56950510" style="line-height: 11.36px; padding: 0px; overflow: visible; cursor: text; clear: both; direction: ltr; font-family: "Segoe UI", Tahoma, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 8px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><p class="ecxParagraph ecxSCX56950510" lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 11.36px; margin-bottom: 1.35em; word-wrap: break-word; vertical-align: baseline; color: windowtext; font-size: 6pt; background-color: transparent;"><span class="ecxTextRun ecxSCX56950510" lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 19px; padding: 0px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 11pt; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The cast of <i style="line-height: 20.8267px;">Into the Woods</i> is comprised of 19 talented and accomplished performers from Lorain and Cuyahoga Counties ranging in age from 14 to 60.
