AUBURN – The St. Dominic Regional High School’s Drama Society will present Stephen Sondheim’s musical “Into the Woods” May 5 to 7.
Student Michael DeFiore will assume the role of the narrator, walking the audience through the story filled with endearing moments, hope, twists and surprises.
The baker (Adam Blais) and his wife (Katie St. Pierre) are a loving couple in desperate search of items to remove a curse set upon them by a neighboring witch (Cara Pavlak), which has left them unable to conceive a child.
The two run into many other characters throughout their search, including Jack (Michael Girouard) who is being forced to sell his precious cow, Milkey White, by his mother (Stephanie Matthews); Little Red Riding Hood (Carolyn Tardif) and her spunky Granny (Charlotte Oswald); Cinderella (Bridget Duval), her prince (Andrew Snowman) and the prince’s steward (Jonathan Kuhl); and Rapunzel (Renee Bissonnette) and her prince (Kyle Levasseur).
Other characters: Cinderella’s stepmother (Sarah St. Amour), her father (Josh Oliver), her evil stepsisters (Carla Henault and Deidre LaCouture) and Cinderella’s dead mother (Emily Slonina) to whom she still goes for guidance; the female giant and Snow White (both Emily Slonina); and Sleeping Beauty (Audrey Ouellette).
