Hope Summer Repertory Theatre

Music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Book by James Lapine

At long last the genius of Stephen Sondheim comes to our stage, in his most beloved work. Drawing from the classic tales of Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk, Little Red Ridinghood, and Rapunzel, Sondheim's great music weaves their stories together in this intricate grown-up version. While charming and funny, these familiar characters may answer your own questions about why your life doesn't seem to be as easy as a fairy tale. Actions have consequences and wishes may not be granted as expected, but each hero learns something valuable in the end. Not recommended for children under 13.

Showings on June 18,19,24,29 & July 1,7,14,16,22,27,31
