Director's Note

“No one is alone.” Into the Woods reminds us that our lives are deeply connected. Our choices matter, not just for ourselves, but for others. It’s easy to feel consumed by our own goals or overwhelmed by the challenges around us. But, as the characters learn in Into the Woods, we are only able to solve our problems when we stop blaming each other and start working on a solution. When we support each other, we create a future worth passing on. As you journey into the woods with us tonight, I hope you’re reminded that you are never truly alone.
