Auditions for Garland Civic Theatre’s presentation of “Into the Woods” will be held Sunday, May 31 at 1 p.m. Callbacks will be the same day at 6 p.m.
The show is based on the book by James Lapine. Music and lyrics are by Stephen Sondheim.
Kyle McClaran will direct the show and the musical director will be Shane Hurst.
“Into the Woods” is the whimsical story of a baker and his wife who wish to have a child, Cinderella who wishes to attend the King’s Festival, and Jack who wishes his cow would give milk – all set to a spellbinding Sondheim score! When the baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of a witch’s curse, the two set off on a dazzling journey where everyone’s wish is granted, but will the consequences of their actions return to haunt them?
