SCHOOL EVENTS HOUSTON HIGH SCHOOL MUSTANG THEATRE - INTO THE WOODS FEBRUARY 21 THROUGH 24 Houston High School Auditorium 9755 Wolf River Boulevard Join the Houston High School Theatre program on a journey into a fantastical world where traditional fairy tales take on fractured new lives and teach important new lessons.

After all the dreams come true in this Tony Award-winning Stephen Sondheim musical, everybody returns to the woods for a reality check. Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack (of beanstalk fame) and Rapunzel get tangled up with a bevy of other fairytale characters and a few new ones created to add to the chaos and discover the unexpected consequences of having wishes come true. 2019 Inspiring Teacher Award recipient, Kell Christie will direct students in the production. Musical direction will be lead by Jason Eschhofen. Tickets may be purchased online at houstonhightheatre.weebly. com or at the door.
