“Into the Woods” will be presented for the first time by the Theatre and Music departments at Chattanooga State Community College in three performances March 23-25.

“Into the Woods” takes classic tales by the Brothers Grimm and weaves them into a modern musical that explores family, the consequences of wishes that come true and the search to break a witch’s curse.

Kimberlin Lacy, as Cinderella, sings “Cinderella at the Grave.”

With music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and book by James Lapine, the Tony Award-winning musical is both enchanting and haunting.

The musical’s main characters are taken from “Little Red Riding Hood,” “Jack and the Beanstalk,” “Rapunzel” and “Cinderella,” but appearances are made by other well-known princesses as well.
