CHESTER SPRINGS, PA — SALT Performing Arts is set to stage the Tony Award-winning musical Into the Woods this October, bringing Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s timeless fairytale to life at its Chester Springs theater.
The production weaves together iconic storybook characters in a narrative exploring wishes, family, and the consequences of choices. Known for its layered themes and memorable score, Into the Woods continues to resonate with audiences decades after its debut.
“Into the Woods explores so many intertwined themes. Most prominently, the consequences of wishes and actions, the complexities of family relationships, and the nature of good and evil,” said Lauren McComas, President and Artistic Director of SALT Performing Arts. “Like the characters in the show, we all struggle with choices that lead to unintended consequences. At SALT we embrace the mantra ‘feed your good wolf,’ reminding us that life rarely offers easy answers.”
Directed by Daniel Williams with music direction from Jason Scansaroli and choreography by Chelsea Barnett, the production features Trevor Sheehan as the Baker, Emily Merow as the Baker’s Wife, Emi Aungst as the Witch, and Lindsay Looloian as Cinderella, among a large ensemble cast.
Performances will be held October 10–26 at SALT’s Chester Springs location, 1645 Art School Road. Opening night on October 10 will feature dressy attire and champagne service. Tickets are available at saltpa.com/intothewoods. Seating is at full capacity, and attendees are encouraged to arrive early as late seating is limited.
In partnership with the Chester County Food Bank, SALT will collect canned beans at every performance and donate $1 from each ticket sale to support local hunger relief.
The production is rated PG-13 for mature content. Performance dates include Friday evenings, Saturday matinee and evening shows, and Sunday matinees through October 26.
