What's it about?
Be careful what you wish for, as Stephen Sondheim’s and James Lapine’s cockeyed fairytale comes to life in this adaptation of their groundbreaking, Tony Award-winning musical. Into the Woods JR. features all of your favorite characters — Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack (and his beanstalk) and the Witch — in this lyrically rich retelling of classic Brothers Grimm fables.
The musical centers on a baker and his wife, who wish to have a child; Cinderella, who wishes to attend the King's festival; and Jack, who wishes his cow would give milk. When the baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of a witch's curse, the two set off on a journey to break the curse, and wind up changed forever.

Event Information
Spotlight Stage Company and Stand Up and Speak Out
Spotlight Stage Company and Stand Up and Speak Out have worked together to create a brand new musical, Stand Up: The Musical. Following a prior rewrite of an original musical called Her Song, Stand Up has taken the plot to a whole new level and in a new direction. If you’ve seen the tour of Stand Up: The Bully Prevention Musical Showcase you’ll notice some similarities but for the most part the newest version is a complete departure from the showcase.
Premise
After the death of her father, Stephanie Lawrence returns to the town of Rockville, where she attended grade school. Stephanie is enrolled as a sophomore at Rockville High School where she is relentlessly bullied by a group of girls and a few nasty boys. After a botched talent show audition, Stephanie is mocked and heckled. She overhears schoolmates Rea and Phil (among others) saying horrible things about her. Upon finding out that her horrible audition was recorded and put on social media, only to go viral, Stephanie is at her breaking point. Inside her bedroom alone, she contemplates ending it all on her terms.
Ian a whimsical, quirky, magical young boy comes to her as a friendly ghost in her dreams to show her why people are so mean sometimes, she then learns how she can Stand Up to overcome it. With lots of original songs that you’ll love to revisit, Stand Up will be a story that touches your heart and opens your eyes a little wider to those around you.
