Asheville’s Theatrical Treat: ‘Into the Woods’ is Almost Gone!

Asheville, get ready for an enchanting adventure! The Asheville Community Theatre is rolling out the red carpet for the delightful musical ‘Into the Woods’, and there are only two weekends left to catch the performance. The show, which is a stunning creation by the legendary Stephen Sondheim, gathers a motley crew of fairy tale favorites in a whimsical yet thought-provoking tale. With showtimes running at 7:30 PM on Fridays and 2:30 PM on Saturdays and Sundays through May 4, it’s your last chance to lose yourself in this enchanting world.

The Tale Unfolds

In ‘Into the Woods’, you’ll meet characters such as the earnest Baker and his wife, who yearn for a child. Then there’s the lovely Cinderella, dreaming of attending the grand King’s Festival, and honest Jack, who just wants his cow to give milk. But beware, as they venture deep into the woods for their wishes, they discover that every desire comes with consequences, and their lives take unexpected and often disastrous turns.

Important Themes to Consider

This is not just a light-hearted romp through the forest, as the production dives into more serious themes like implied sexual references, suicide, staged violence, intimacy, and death. It’s a captivating blend of enchanting melodies and sobering life lessons that will stick with you long after the final curtain falls. A perfect night out for those looking for a bit of everything!
