Oak Grove Theater Presents Into the Woods Jr.

After many months of dedicated rehearsals and hard work from the Oak Grove Theater Team, student cast and crew members, and a group of generous parent volunteers, the curtain rose on four spellbinding performances of Into the Woods, Jr.

Our all-school ensemble brought this complex, witty, and whimsical musical to life, with nearly 1,000 audience members journeying deep into the fairy tale forest with them. From Cinderella’s slipper to the Jack’s magic beans, audiences were captivated by the students’ ability to balance Sondheim’s challenging music with rich storytelling and much humor.

We are grateful to The Thacher School for once again welcoming Oak Grove into their beautiful Milligan Theater space. Bravo to all involved for a bold and beautiful adventure Into the Woods!

Directed by: Jean & Jen Moran • Vocal Director: Natalie Gelman • Production Designer & Technical Director: Megan Sicotte-Kelly • Production Coordinator & Choreographer: Cassidy Linder • Lighting Designer: Adam Dunn • Deck Manager: Naomi Santoyo • Sound Engineer: Jason Arteaga
