Fall 2025 Production
Program Overview
Ages 10-17.
Full Main Stage production with 2-4 performances.
While registration and enrollment are open to all, performers are required to audition and are given a role based on their skill level. Due to the intensity of the rehearsal period as well as the heightened responsibilities of each actor, we recommend that students have had some prior performance experience. Feel free to reach out to us if you are unsure whether or not your child/teen is ready for this program by emailing info@curtainupstudios.com.
Synopsis
Be careful what you wish for! Into the Woods JR. features all of your favorite characters — Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack (and his beanstalk) and the Witch — in this lyrically rich retelling of classic Brothers Grimm fables.
The musical centers on a baker and his wife, who wish to have a child; Cinderella, who wishes to attend the King's festival; and Jack, who wishes his cow would give milk. When the baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of a witch's curse, the two set off on a journey to break the curse, and wind up changed forever.
