Slow Burn’s latest – just in time for the holidays – production of Disney’s THE LITTLE MERMAID sizzles and dazzles from start to finish. The company’s ever-changing, integrated use of projected marine backgrounds coupled with a beautifully designed physical set is a wonder to behold – in fact, a show of its own.

Into the Woods

Oct. 14-29, 2023

Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim

Book by James Lapine

Originally Directed on Broadway by James Lapine

Orchestrations by Jonathan Tunick

Directed by Patrick Fitzwater

Into the Woods intertwines beloved fairy tales—including Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk, Little Red Riding Hood, and Rapunzel—into a richly layered story about wishes, consequences, and community.

At the center is a Baker and his Wife, who embark on a quest to break a witch’s curse that has left them childless. As their paths cross with familiar characters, each pursues a wish of their own, leading to unexpected consequences once those wishes are granted. With wit, heart, and a hauntingly beautiful score, Into the Woods explores what it truly means to live “happily ever after.”

Lyrics by Chad Beguelin

Directed by Patrick Firzwater

A high school girl is banned from bringing her girlfriend to the prom in her conservative town.

It’s so joyful and there’s so much redemption and hope in the show. “The Prom” is about “realizing that we’re all in this together no matter who you are. Emma and Alyssa just (want) to go to the prom together like any other normal kid.”
