We have a talented theater group at my parish that has done a summer production for the past several years. This year was Into The Woods. I've never heard fairy tales told quite that way before, with consequences of wishing & wishes granted, and the "ever-after" not so happy. Mom & I really enjoyed this - neither of us had seen it before
Our music director is also a music & drama teacher, and she brings all this together. We are very fortunate to have something like this. Some of the other plays they've done were:
Nunsense II
Godspell
Sound of Music
Murder Mystery Dinner Theater
Nuncrackers
Seussical the Musical
Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
I saw Godspell on stage in NYC many years and Into The Woods on NPR-TV or whatever they call themselves.
ReplyDeleteMy sister said that they used to do plays at her church, but the royalties got too expensive.
ReplyDeleteThe problem for all local art groups. $Money$. Most people don't realize that even a dance troup has to pay a royality to perform another's dance. And yet some in Government like to make "non-profits" seem to be living off the backs of those who donate and any Gov't grants they get. NOT!!!
