The Mountain Play Presents Into the Woods

/ Cushing Memorial Amphitheatre/

May 21 - June 18, 2023

The Mountain Play, the San Francisco Bay Area’s most magical outdoor theater experience, is proud to present INTO THE WOODS for its 110th Season for a one-of-a-kind mountaintop event enjoyed by audiences of all ages. 

INTO THE WOODS takes you on a journey with everyone’s favorite characters from the Brothers Grimm fairy tales, as they navigate the woods in search of wishes fulfilled.

The story follows a Baker (Kevin Singer) and his wife (Melissa Wolfklain), who wish to have a child; Cinderella (Samantha Cardenas), who wishes to attend the King's Festival; and Jack (Chachi Delgado), who wishes his cow would give milk. When the Baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of a Witch's curse, the two set off on a journey to break the curse. Everyone's wish is granted but with surprising and haunting consequences.
