ABOUT THE SHOW
Our 50th Season and Our Two Hundred and Forty First Production!
Buck Creek Players, Director Ben Jones, and Music Director Jill Stewart are thrilled to announce their upcoming production of Into The Woods with Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and Book by James Lapine. Follow the Baker and his wife, who wish to have a child; Cinderella, who wishes to attend the King's Festival; and Jack, who wishes his cow would give milk. When the Baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of a Witch's curse, the two set off on a journey to break the curse. Everyone's wish is granted, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later with disastrous results. Buck Creek Players is pleased to conclude our 50th season with this live event on our mainstage. Join us for the eight live in-person performances at the playhouse starting Friday, June 14th and running through Sunday, June 23rd. |
