Kelley “Helen” Pernicone will be directing once again and will be joined by Andy Novak as Music Director and Mike Skerritt as Producer.If you are unfamiliar with Into the Woods, you would know that it is a delightfully fun and complex retelling of the Grimm’s fairy tales and encompasses themes of growing up, family dynamics, accepting responsibility, morality, and the consequences of getting exactly what you want. This show also has a wonderful cluster of characters and the team is looking forward to this opportunity to bring a diverse group of performers together.
