The University of Idaho
Department of Theatre Arts presents the award-winning Stephen Sondheim musical “Into the Woods” starting Friday, April 28.

Performances are at 7:30 p.m. April 29, 30 and May 7; and 2 p.m. April 30 and May 1 and 8 at the Hartung Theater, 625 Stadium Drive, Moscow.

Admission is free for UI students and $10-$22 for the public. Tickets are available online at uidaho.edu/theatretix or at the door one hour before the show.

In the Tony Award-winning musical by Sondheim and James Lapine, a cast of classic fairy tale characters, including Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, the Baker, his wife and a giant, are on a quest to find their "happily ever after."

Directed by UI professor David Lee-Painter, the performance features more than 30 students in the cast and crew, including senior Hannah Verdi, of Hayden, Idaho, who received the National Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival Musical Theatre Fellowship in June 2021.

Free parking is available on Stadium Drive and in the lot across the street from the theater.
