New Village Arts partners with the Oceanside Theatre Company to co-produce Stephen Sondheim’s "Into The Woods," directed by Kristianne Kurner. Interwoven through fairy tales is the story of a baker and his wife, whose longing for a child is thwarted by a mischievous witch. Sondheim’s songs, seamlessly melded to James Lapine’s text, are perfect expressions of the complications of living in modern society and the difficult choices we encounter on the paths of our lives. "Into The Woods" will transform the Oceanside Theatre Company’s stage into a magic land where almost anything can (and does) happen.
