525,600 productions of INTO THE WOODS
by Fred Sternfeld via NEohioPAL 23 Jul '16

23 Jul '16

What? What? Why a reference to *Rent* (525,600 minutes in a year - Seasons of Love) when we are about to open a production (playing July 29 - August 7) of *Into the Woods*? First, there are *A LOT* of (maybe not 525,600, but at least 4 or 5) productions of *Into the Woods* happening this summer around the area. It is a great show. They all deserve your attention and patronage. We hope you will attend ours too. We expect a lot of our students and they expect a lot of themselves. *Into the Woods* is no different. This cast is doing great work - A lot of laughter and tears even a week out. A little about our history... Last summer's HBTI production of *Rent: School Edition*, with an amazing cast of young people, was highly acclaimed by audiences and won some awards. Michael Dempsey (local actor and director) had this to say about *Rent*: "when student productions are extraordinary, there's a special kind of excitement you don't get anywhere else” "Every actor had powerful voices and serious acting talent." "I walked out of there utterly blown away." "I'll never think the same way about young people's theatre again." *Fiddler on the Roof,* directed by Bebe Weinberg Katz, just closed two weeks ago and it was very highly acclaimed! Here are some comments from our audience... Ken Ferlito: (Drama Director at Euclid High School) "This show is amazing! The talent was awesome! The emotion, the timing, the dancing, the singing! Applause to everyone involved in the show!" Julie Sudy Billinghurst: (Mother of Isabel, who played Golde and will play the Baker's Wife) "Don't miss out on this classic, performed by an amazing group of actors who will touch your heart as they tell this beautiful story." Come catch these terrific young actors. Who is in the show? Here are the biographies of this summer's casts of *Fiddler on the Roof* and *Into the Woods* <http://www.hb.edu/page.cfm?p=8973>.
