Asheville’s Theatrical Treat: ‘Into the Woods’ is Almost Gone!
Asheville, get ready for an enchanting adventure! The Asheville Community Theatre is rolling out the red carpet for the delightful musical ‘Into the Woods’, and there are only two weekends left to catch the performance. The show, which is a stunning creation by the legendary Stephen Sondheim, gathers a motley crew of fairy tale favorites in a whimsical yet thought-provoking tale. With showtimes running at 7:30 PM on Fridays and 2:30 PM on Saturdays and Sundays through May 4, it’s your last chance to lose yourself in this enchanting world.
The Tale Unfolds
In ‘Into the Woods’, you’ll meet characters such as the earnest Baker and his wife, who yearn for a child. Then there’s the lovely Cinderella, dreaming of attending the grand King’s Festival, and honest Jack, who just wants his cow to give milk. But beware, as they venture deep into the woods for their wishes, they discover that every desire comes with consequences, and their lives take unexpected and often disastrous turns.
Important Themes to Consider
This is not just a light-hearted romp through the forest, as the production dives into more serious themes like implied sexual references, suicide, staged violence, intimacy, and death. It’s a captivating blend of enchanting melodies and sobering life lessons that will stick with you long after the final curtain falls. A perfect night out for those looking for a bit of everything!
Show Details & Ticket Information
The magic of ‘Into the Woods’ is brought to life in partnership with the Asheville Symphony, adding a symphonic flair to the already vibrant theatrical experience. Tickets are available for $36.50 for adults and a budget-friendly $18 for those aged 3 to 17. If you’re eager to secure your spot in the audience, head over to ashevilletheatre.org for more details on ticket purchase.
Weather Update for a Cozy Night Out
If you’re planning to enjoy a delightful evening at the theatre, keep an eye on the weather. Tonight’s forecast suggests it will be mostly cloudy with some showers developing after midnight, bringing a low temperature of 58°F. Winds are expected to be light and variable, but there’s a 40% chance of rain, so it might be wise to bring an umbrella just in case! Let’s hope for the best and enjoy the light sprinkles as a refreshing complement to the evening’s entertainment.
