Welcome
from the
Superintendent
It is with great enthusiasm that I welcome you to Encore’s presenta on of Into the Woods. The students who will entertain us today, and those working behind the scenes, are a tremendous source of pride within our school community. For the past several months, they, guided by talented advisors and dedicated boosters, have spent countless hours preparing for today’s performance which will soon take us on a magical journey through an enchanted forest filled with witches, wolves and fairy tale characters. Like Jack’s beanstalk, their hard work has bore fruit, resul ng in another highquality and highly-entertaining show. This weekend’s performances allow the Southern Columbia Area School District to showcase its talented students; they also serve as evidence that the arts are alive and flourishing within our schools. Numerous studies have demonstrated a correla on between involvement in the arts and academic achievement. In addi on to having higher standardized test scores than their peers who do not experience the arts, students who par cipate in drama and music o en experience improved reading comprehension, maintain be er a endance records, and stay generally more engaged in school than their non-arts counterparts. The District recognizes and appreciates the value of music educa on, drama, and the arts, and understands the importance of maintaining these rich learning experiences. In closing, I wish to express my apprecia on to the ad sponsors and community members who donated materials, built props and/or who helped in any other way. Your support and commitment to SCA’s Encore program goes a long way in providing our students with avenues to develop their crea ve talents. To Mrs. Stone, Music Department staff, the cast and crew of Into the
Woods, and staff and parent volunteers- congratulaƟons for a job well
done! I look forward to joining you in the audience and enjoying the adventures Cinderella, Li le Red Riding Hood, Jack, a baker and his wife, and other talented Encore performers find when they take a journey Into the Woods. Enjoy the show! 1 Paul R. Caputo Superintendent Director’s Notes “INTO THE WOODS”
Welcome once again to the 8th Season of Southern Columbia Area Music Department’s performance of “Into the Woods.” I have been waiting for the right group of talented students to do this very difficult musical. We have so many talented students here at SCA. “Into the Woods” seemed to be the perfect fit for this years’ cast. “Into the Woods” is a musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and book by James Laping. The musical intertwines the plots of several Brothers Grimm Fairy Tales and follows them to explore the consequences of the character’s wishes and quests as they venture “Into the Woods.” Join “Little Red Riding Hood,” “Jack and the Beanstalk,” “Rapunzel,” and “Cinderella” as they find out what they wish for is not what they really want. The musical is tied together by an original story involving a childless baker and his wife and their quest to begin a family, their interaction with a Witch who has placed a curse on them, and the interaction with other storybook characters happen as they journey through the woods. “Into the Woods” is a musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and book by James Lapine. It debuted in San Diego at the Old Globe Theatre in 1986, and premiered on Broadway on November 5, 1987. Bernadette Peters' performance as the Witch and Joanna Gleason's portrayal of the Baker's Wife brought acclaim to the production during its original Broadway run. “Into the Woods” won several Tony Awards, including Best Score, Best Book, and Best Actress in a Musical (Joanna Gleason), in a year dominated by The
Phantom of the Opera. The musical has been produced many times, with a 1988 US national tour, a 1990 West End production, a 1991 television production, a 1997 tenth anniversary concert, a 2002 Broadway revival, a 2010 London revival and in 2012 as part of New York City's outdoor Shakespeare in the Park series. On December 25, 2014 another production of “Into the Woods” will be viewed by many in movie theatres across the world. Johnny Depp portrays the “Wolf” and Meryl Streep as the “Witch”. This year we tried to add additional characters into our production of “Into the Woods.” The students read many books about many fairy tale characters, wrote a brief script, helped with the design of their scenery, and will be interacting with audience members in the High School Auditorium Lobby: The Three Bears,
Three Little Pigs, Three Blind Mice, The Piped Piper, Hansel &
Gretel, Sleeping Beauty and Snow White. These students will also be part of the ensemble (company) and dancers. It amazes me each year as we go into another season of Encore, how many talented students we have at Southern Columbia School District. Some of these students you will see on stage performing, some are the students behind the scenes running tech and the stage. Everything we do to put this musical production together utilizes skills that not only they have learned in chorus but also math, physics, English, language, science, tech ed, FCS, and theatre. They sew, build, design, read, memorize, sing, act, do make
-up and hair design, costume design, and write script. This is what makes our productions so unique. We are very thankful for the alumni, Encore parents, students, family, and friends who have given many hours of their time to help make this production possible. Thank you to the many wonderful people throughout the Southern Columbia Community, the Music Department, and all the people who have donated many items for us to use in our production. To my colleagues, Jenn Bates from Central Columbia HS and Tim Latsha from Bloomsburg HS, for coming to our rescue and loaning us sound equipment, costumes, and advice. You are truly angels. We are also so appreciative to the administration, faculty, and staff who have helped us during this 3 month process of going “Into
4 the Woods.” Thank you, thank you, thank you! “Into the Woods” may be many fractured fairy rales but they are tales that can teach us many things about life. Many times we Synopsis
wish for many things, but as you will learn in our production – Sometimes the things you wish for….you find that what you wished for isn’t really what you want or need: kindness, love,
appreciation, devotion, and friendship. Please sit back and enjoy our production of An ambivalent Cinderella? A blood-thirsty Li le Red Ridinghood? A Prince Charming with a roving eye? A Witch ... who raps? They're all among the cockeyed characters in James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim's fractured fairy tale. When a baker and his wife learn they've been cursed with childlessness by the Witch next door, they embark on a quest for the special objects ( a cow as white as milk ... a cape as red as blood ... hair as yellow as corn ... a slipper as pure as gold ... ) required to break the spell, swindling, lying to and stealing from Cinderella (with the slipper as pure as gold), Li le Red Ridinghood (with a cape as red as blood), Rapunzel (with the hair as yellow as corn), and Jack (the one who climbed the beanstalk - with the cow as white as milk). Everyone's wish is granted at the end of Act One but the consequences of their ac ons return to haunt them later, with disastrous results. A Giant (A female Giant, that is) steps down from the heavens and straight upon some beloved characters. It takes a few lives before the survivors realize that they have to act altogether in order to succeed. Thus, what begins a lively irreverent fantasy becomes a moving lesson about community responsibility and the stories we tell our children. "This story is a magical, imagina ve adventure with a moral and poli cal point of view. Employing sophis cated ar stry and innova ve cra , the show's creators leads the audience on a journey to the darker side of fairy tales as they explore the pain of growing up, communal responsibility, and the values we pass on to our children. As the intricate, absorbing plot unfolds, a childless baker and his wife, cursed by a wicked witch, go off into the woods in hopes of ridding themselves of her evil influence. There they encounter Cinderella, her Prince Charming, Li le Red Ridinghood, the Wolf, Jack the Giant Killer, Rapunzel, and other characters who are a emp ng to realize wishes of their own. Filled with unexpected twists and dazzling insights, "Into “Into the Woods”

5 6 the Woods" is a cau onary plea for commitment expressed through masterstrokes of theatrical magic. Subjects as diverse as the promise of perfect love, the foolhardiness of ques ng for material goods, and the loving but difficult rela onship between parents and children are considered in a landscape shaded with psychological undertones." "With tenderness and laughter, Sondheim and Lapine bring us through a maze that mirrors the complexity of everyday existence. Like the characters in “Into the Woods," we end this journey award of the moral consequences of our ac ons and the power of tolerance, community, and shared sacrifice. You will be surprised who you will meet as you go .... "INTO THE WOODS"'!

You've taught me so many valuable life lessons aside from all the musical knowledge I've gained. I honestly couldn't thank you enough for opening me up to all the fabulous experiences the music department has brought me. You truly are such an inspira on to not only me, but all of us and I can only hope to become half the lady you are when I grow up. I've had so much fun and made memories I wouldn't trade for the world! Thank you so much, love you!" Kc Welkom

Can't thank you enough for your me, energy, blood, sweat, tears, effort, EVERYTHING you have put into the music department and especially for the individual a en on you somehow managed to give each person that you have met.

Megan has been in “Cinderella,” “Godspell,” and “Into the Woods.” One of Megan's most memorable moments is when dress rehearsal week happens and everyone shows up to be one big happy family. The things Megan will miss the most are the shows for the li le kids on the Friday of the first show, all the prep me for hair and makeup, dancing backstage to the songs, and the close-knit group of friends that they become over the course of the show. Megan's message to Mrs. Stone: "Mrs. Stone, I don't even know where to begin. You have such a big heart and you give so much of it away, that I'm surprised that you have any le . The experiences and memories that you have le me with will go with me wherever I go. I just want to thank you for always being that shoulder to cry on, or being there with an open door in case I ever needed to talk. You truly are an inspira on. Thank you." Michael WillhoitMichael has been in “Cinderella” “Godspell,” and “Into the Woods.” Some of Michael's most memorable moments have been created in Encore. Michael will never forget picking on Brian, taking naps underneath the set, and shoo ng staples at people. Michael's message to Mrs. Stone "Mrs. Stone, even though I have not had the full high school experience with chorus and Encore, the me I did have will influence me greatly for the rest of my life. I do plan on joining as many musical clubs that I can while I'm at Temple and that's mostly because of you. Because of you, music is something that I can enjoy for the rest of my life. Thank you for the memories!" Brenna Gessner
