Witches, Ghosts, and Wolves! Community Players go Into the Woods by Bob McLaughlin and John Lieder For the second musical of the 95th season, Community Players is presenting Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s contemporary take on traditional fairy tales, Into the Woods. Having won the Pulitzer Prize for their previous collaboration, Sunday in the Park with George, composer Sondheim and librettist Lapine began considering fairy tales, the narrative elements these tales tend to have in common and the cultural functions they perform, and wondered what would happen if you took some familiar characters—Little Red Ridinghood, Cinderella, Jack of beanstalk fame, Rapunzel—and brought them together as they pursue their wishes, add the Witch that is so often the antagonist in these tales, and maybe create a new story, about a Baker and his Wife, to tie the disparate narratives together.
