The musical extravaganza Into the Woods, directed by Brooke Ditchfield, opened Thursday night at the Performing Arts Center at Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School.
“Into the Woods is a part of the Brothers Grimm Fairy Tales, ” wrote Elie Jordi in this week’s High School View, “set in a musical format that blends together the tales of Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the Beanstalk, and Rapunzel.”
The cast includes senior and lead cast member Aaron Teves, junior Michelle de Geofroy, sophomore Ben Nadelstein and junior Miles Thornton. Mr. Jordi wrote that the play has been a community project, “incorporating carpenters, artists and choreographers…A father of one of the cast members helped build the set. Jesse Keller, a choreographer from The Yard, worked with students on their dance numbers.”
The production runs February 12, 13, 14 at 7 pm. There will be a shorter matinee for children on Sunday at 2 pm. Cost is $10 for adults, $7 for students and senior citizens, and free for children 8 and under.
