Journey through the woods with fairy tale characters you've known since childhood in The University of Memphis production of "Into the Woods" Nov. 14-16 and 21-23. All performances of the play, written by Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine, begin at 8 p.m. in the Theatre and Dance Building.

In this joint production of the Department of Theatre and Dance and the Rudi E. Scheidt School of Music, fairy tale characters run amuck when they venture into the woods. A jaunty, witty score puts a new twist on popular tales, blending them with the story of a baker and his wife who try to reverse a curse on their family in order to have a child. Learn what happens to Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, Rapunzel and the wicked witch after "happily ever after."

Tickets are $15 for the general public, $10 for students and senior citizens. U of M students are admitted free with a valid I.D.
