Be careful what you wish for! Central Theater at Champaign Central High School invites the community to venture Into the Woods for four performances, November 19–22, 2026, at Decker Theater.
Featuring music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and a book by James Lapine, Into the Woods brings together some of the world's most familiar fairy-tale characters in an imaginative musical adventure that explores wishes, consequences, family, and the meaning of happily ever after.
The story follows a Baker and his Wife as they journey into the woods to break a mysterious curse. Along the way, their paths cross with Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and his beanstalk, and other familiar characters whose wishes intertwine in unexpected ways. Inspired by the classic Brothers Grimm fairy tales, the Tony Award-winning musical combines humor, memorable music, and a thought-provoking story about the choices we make and the consequences that follow.
