Directorial
Vanguard Theater is seeking a Music Director for our upcoming professional production of Into the Woods – the classic Stephen Sondheim musical that intertwines several classic fairy tales, mainly from the Brothers Grimm, and explores what happens after "happily ever after”.
About Vanguard Theater
Founded in 2015, Vanguard challenges conventional social and cultural narratives through theater dedicated to DREAM: Diversity, Reciprocity, Education, Activism, & Mentorship. Learn more at vanguardtheatercompany.org
Into the Woods is a musical that weaves together several classic fairy tales Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk, Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, and an original story about a Baker and his Wife who wish to have a child. A mysterious Witch reveals that the couple is cursed and must venture into the woods to collect four magical items to break the spell.
In Act I, the characters pursue their wishes and, through magic and determination, they all get what they want: Cinderella marries the prince, Jack gains riches, Red defeats the Wolf, Rapunzel escapes her tower, and the Baker and his Wife prepare for parenthood.
But Act II explores what happens after "happily ever after." The characters face the unintended consequences of their actions: a rampaging giant seeks revenge, relationships fracture, and beloved characters die. As their world falls apart, they must learn to take responsibility, work together, and redefine what it means to live “happily ever after.”
