DIRECTOR'S NOTE
Ashley Ramsey
A friend asked me years ago if I wanted to accompany him up the canyon to “hear the trees talk.” We hiked for a while until we came to a grove filled with tall, white trees. As we laid down in the grove and the wind gently swept its way through the autumn leaves, it truly did sound like the trees were whispering back and forth to each other their ancient secrets. It was beautiful, calm, and serene. We stayed too late in the canyon and the sun was quickly setting and the path that had been so clear taking us to our destination seemed to muddle the darker and darker it became. It was cold. And that calm and serene feeling the woods had brought just a short time ago, was quickly replaced with an uneasiness and fear. It felt as if we walked in circles until we finally saw the light of the parking lot where our car waited for us.
Into the Woods explores what it means to journey through our mortal existence. The ups and downs, the goods and bads. It also challenges us to define what those labels really mean. The woods serve as a place of learning for these characters. They themselves are familiar to us through the stories we know, but here they are slightly altered and expanded in which we may ask, do we really know them at all? The depth of Stephen Sondheim’s layering of themes is superb and I find myself returning often to his work and finding new meaning in it everytime.
The past few years many of us have found ourselves in our own woods. Experiencing things we never have before and the painful growth that sometimes comes from those moments, but also the beauty. I hope as you take in the incredible work of this show and the amazing work our actors have put into it, that you will find a moment to ponder the giants and witches in your life and the gifts they can bring.
“You decide what’s right, you decide what’s good….No one is alone.”
