Be Ready for the Journey "Into the Woods"

The winter musical, "Into the Woods," debuted on Friday, February 23 and ran through Saturday, February 24 with nightly showings.
“Into the Woods,” adapted for the Pendleton stage and an all-Episcopal cast from the 1986 musical from Steven Sondheim and James Lapine, was a memorable melodic mashup of fairytale heroes and villains!

Another in the long line of unforgettable EHS dramatic productions, the show involved over 50 students. The members of the winter musical afternoon option spent months rehearsing, building sets, designing lighting, and creating costumes to bring the fairytale world of the woods to life.

"'Into the Woods' is an incredibly difficult piece, and our students did wonderfully," Theater director Bill Patti says. "The music is very challenging and there are a multitude of moving parts - our experienced cast took full advantage of their strengths to put together an exciting production. This show opens up the opportunity for us to continue to work on and engage with more difficult pieces of theatre. We are excited to explore new ways to use our students and spaces.”
