Santa Cruz Shakespeare invites you to experience Into the Woods, under the trees and stars of the Audrey Stanley Grove in Santa Cruz's DeLaveaga Park this summer.
The first summer musical produced by Santa Cruz Shakespeare and Shakespeare Santa Cruz in 32 years and a brilliant pairing with Midsummer, Sondheim's masterpiece sees another disparate group journeying into the forest, pursuing a wide range of desires, from a simple visit to grandmother's house, a decent price for a cow or the magical ingredients to cure a curse of childlessness. Woods honors the various fairy tales it is drawn from and turns them on their head. It subverts expectations, surprising at every music-filled turn with pathos and humor. SCS's season theme is drawn directly from the gorgeous Act II song of the same name, "No One is Alone." Woods is Sondheim's incredible meditation on just that - messy, painful or beautiful, as it may be.
Into the Woods runs July 15 through September 7, with Opening Night on July 19.
Tickets available for purchase starting May 1. More information at santacruzshakespeare.org/season-2025
Seasonal box office hours are Tuesday through Friday from 12p.m. to 4p.m. beginning May 1. Call 831-460-6399.
