Into the Woods

Music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim

Book by James Lapine

Play Synopsis:

Into the Woods is a tale about several fairy tale characters. It follows the wish of a baker and his

wife as they wish to have a child and discover that a curse was placed on their family tree by a

witch. They journey into the woods to lift the curse and they meet Jack who is trying to sell his

cow. They also meet Cinderella and little Red Riding hood in the woods. Every character has a

wish, and their wishes come true, as they journey in the woods. However, they discover that each

wish and action they make in the woods can result in some disastrous consequences.

In Fairfield County, CT Into the Woods hasn’t been produced in recent years by High Schools. A

community theatre in Richter Danbury, 30 minutes away did the production in July 2017. In

December of 2018 Julliard Drama will do the production, which is about an hour and a half

away. May 2019 the Connecticut Theatre will be putting it on, located in New Britain, CT which

is about an hour away from our school. It is a popular play in the surrounding areas of Fairfield

County, but it is rarely explored by high schools.


Vision Statements

My overall design statement for Into the Woods is to emphasize the fear of the unknown.

To me, “the woods” throughout the play represent the unknow that each of us must face

throughout our lives. I will emphasize this through the directing with the actors, and with the

lights and sound throughout the play. I will stage the play traditionally, keeping to the details

required in the script. I feel that the woods naturally exemplify this fear of the unknown with the

natural shadows that the tall trees cast. I want to keep that feeling in the set.

In my artistic approach I plan to collaborate with my other theatre faculty and students

throughout the creation and rehearsal process. I will be directing this production and Mrs. D will

be helping with the costumes. Other faculty members will help throughout the process as

indicated on the production calendar. I plan to work with the students, particularly in acting to

allow them to explore new their own interpretations of how each character contains this fear of

the unknown throughout the play.

There are many themes in Into the Woods that can be emphasized along with the fear of

the unknown, in particular I want to emphasize the them of consequences. From act one to act

two we see the strong influence that our choices have on ourselves and other people. Often

students (or anyone for that matter) can go through life thinking that what they do doesn’t affect

those around them, and that is not true. In working with students, I want to emphasize this life

message and theme to them and to the audience. I will do so, by helping them understand each

consequence each character experiences throughout the play. I will facilitate many discussions as

to why they think their character is doing what they do, and why certain consequences follow.

We will have many discussions and I will relate them back to their own lives, to help them apply

it to their individual lives.


Along with that theme there are other pedagogical purposes to this play. This music is

particularly challenging for both singing and for the orchestra. For this production the theatre

department will work with the music department to perform this musical with a live orchestra. It

will be very beneficial to both the music and the theatre students to learn and master this

challenging music and to have the experience to work together in live performances.

Design Concept.

Scenic & prop design: As stated above, I want the set to have a feeling of unknown. This will

be done through having tall trees with ominous shadows and sounds throughout the show. We

are planning on renting the set and props through fourth wall scenic, as our budget allows us to.

This will cover all the set pieces, and props required for the show and it will also include

professional stage crew to set up and take down the set. The tech students will be able to have

first hand learning from and working with professional stage crew throughout this experience.

Costume Design: I want to keep the costume design traditional to the play. I like the idea of

having these plain people and characters seeming familiar and relatable to the audience. I want

them to look very traditional so that the audience can take comfort in looking at them and then

feel uneasy as the woods appear dark and mysterious.

Lighting/ Sound/ Media: As I stated before I want the lighting to be very shadowy with lots of

greys, and greens throughout the woods we could also use media projections to help create these

shadows. Sound will have the sound effects required throughout the script, such as the giant

footsteps, and thunder. I would also like to include the sound soft rustling of trees in the

background and light nature sounds, that aren’t quite soothing, but not scary either. Both the

sound and light will combine to create a feeling of the fear of the unknown.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT RENTING COSTUMES
PHILOSOPHY: Whether the costumes you need are simple, elaborate, bright, or drab,
what is important is that they are right. Our staff of Costumers is committed to this ideal.

ACCESSORIES: Certain accessories are automatically included in the rental price; others
are subject to additional charges. The prices quoted on our standard plots reflect these
considerations.

ONE OR ONE HUNDRED: At Norcostco, we are happy to rent you all of the costumes for
a show, some of the costumes, or just one costume if that is all that you need. We can
take full responsibility for being your costumer, or you can use us as a supplier for those
harder-to-come-by costumes.

ACTOR SUBSIDIES: In many schools and community theatres, students/actors are willing
to pitch in and pay all or part of the rental costume charges in order to have quality and
attractive costumes for their show. The order can be placed in the usual manner with the
sponsoring organization paying the bill; then the student/actor pays his/her share to the
organization. This reimbursement plan can be a real budget stretcher.

MEASUREMENT/ORDER FORMS: Order forms are attached and can also be found on
our website. Please remember that complete and accurate measurements eliminate
estimating sizes and facilitate a better fit. Norcostco requires submission of a signed and
fully completed order form before production of your order can take place.

PLAN AHEAD: Our goal is to provide you with complete and timely service along with the
greatest looking costumes possible. Please place your orders early; ultimately, this ensures
the best look for your show. If you give us complete information well in advance of your
production date, we in turn are able to give your show our best effort.

EXPEDITED SHIPPING: Norcostco specializes in meeting the last minute needs of our
customers and during certain times of the year, our shipping calendar can become quite
full. Please be aware that the timeliness with which you place your order determines your
placement in the schedule. In some cases, expedited shipping may become necessary
and those charges are the responsibility of the customer.

www.norcostco.com
COSTUME RENTAL PROCEDURES
Prices quoted are for a maximum period of seven (7) days.

Costumes needed for longer than seven (7) days are charged at one-third (1/3) the
original rental price for each seven (7) day period or part thereafter.

You are not charged rental for the time the costumes are in transit.

Shipping charges in both directions (to and from you) are in addition to the
rental charges.

We ask that orders be complete and submitted a minimum of 3 weeks prior to your
SHIP DATE. Orders received less than 3 weeks prior to ship date are NOT subject
to late order fees but may be subject to expedited shipping charges in order to make
your production dates.

If an open account has not already been established, a valid purchase order or
signed letter of authorization from an official of your organization must accompany
your order if the order is to be charged to an open account.

Please fill out order form and measurement sheets as completely and accurately as
possible. An authorized signature is required for us to process the order.

Include a copy of the Norcostco plot for your show on which you have noted the
specific costumes that you are ordering and any special needs which may not be
indicated on our standard plot.

We want to encourage you to EMAIL or fax your orders. It's speedy and accurate.

Certain costumes are marked “NET” on our plot meaning they are not subject to any
further discounting.

We would be honored if the phrase "Costumes by Norcostco" appeared in your


program.

Prices are subject to change without notice.

that it could take up to 3 weeks to get approved. Below are the screen shots of the responses they
gave me when I clicked to apply for a license, after I made an account on MTI.

Into the Woods Parent Contract
Dear parents/ Guardians:
Congratulations! Your student has been cast in the musical! Musicals are a great opportunity for
your student to learn, grow, create lasting friendships and to learn life long lessons. The rehearsal
and performance process are very important in order to have a successful show. Your student is
required to be at all rehearsals listed in the rehearsal calendar, and to be on time. As the parent
please do everything in your power to be sure that your student is at rehearsals on time and
prepared. Your student should have already listed dates that are conflicts to the rehearsal
schedule on their audition form. If your student has any additional conflict dates and times,
please list them here on the attached form
Your student will receive a company rules paper which you are to read and sign as well. In these
company rules it states what is required of your student throughout the rehearsals and
performance. If you have any questions or concerns about these rules, please feel free to contact
me.
This play explores some adult content, such as sexual innuendos, and love affairs and deals with
violence, such as cutting off toes, eyes poked with thorns. Although this adult content, is present
in the play it is a play that discusses life lessons such as having consequences to your actions and
learning to do what is right, because it is right. I will emphasize these positive aspects of the play
so that your student can grow and become a better individual to society, however I will not
censor the content in this play. If you have any concerns again, please feel free to contact me.
Attached is a contact information sheet that you are to fill out and return to your student by Sep.
20th. On this sheet it will ask if you are willing to provide meals for the cast and crew. This is just
a simple dinner that you will bring during the tech and dress rehearsals while the cast and crew is
working hard on the production. Our parent representative will contact you to arrange a date and
time for the meal if you are interested in doing so.
Congratulations again on your student being cast in the show. I look forward to working with
them and you on this musical.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Bohannon
School 2 head theatre teacher.
