Registration will open on Friday, March 6 at 12 PM.
Directed by Brennan Urbi
Columbia University School of the Arts presents Into the Woods, a directing thesis production by student Brennan Urbi.
What begins as a familiar journey through the tales of Cinderella, Jack, Little Red Riding Hood, and the Baker and his Wife soon unravels into something deeper: an examination of choice, responsibility, and the fragile truth behind “happily ever after.” As decisions are made and consequences collide, Into the Woods reveals the true cost of getting what you wish.
