Hickory – The Hickory Community Theatre’s season 77 finale, Into the Woods, will make its debut this Friday, June 5 in the Jeffers Theatre. The classic musical will run for nine performances, through June 20.

The skies are strange, the winds are strong and the incredibly talented cast is ready to bring you into a magical world where wishes are made—and granted, but perhaps not with the intended results.

This beloved musical by Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine weaves together classic fairy tales, including Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the Beanstalk and Rapunzel, into a richly layered story about wishes, consequences and the possible pitfalls of “happily ever after.”

Performances of Into the Woods are June 5th through 20th, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30pm, Sundays at 2:30pm and Thursday, June 18th at 7:30pm.

Tickets are $18 for adults and $12 for youth and students. Tickets are available at hickorytheatre.org or by calling 828-328-2283. This production is considered suitable for ages 13 and up.

Into the Woods is produced in association with Catawba Valley Health System. Hickory Community Theatre is a funded affiliate of Arts Culture Catawba and receives sustaining support from the North Carolina Arts Council, a division of the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources. Season 77 community support is provided by the City of Hickory, A Cleaner World, Shurtape Technologies, Acuña & Acuña Dentistry, and BelleAge.
