Hunting Hills to perform ‘Into the Woods’ March at RDP

Feb 10, 2025 | 12:44 PM

The enchanting and mysterious world of Brothers Grimm will be brought to life this March by the Hunting Hills theatre program, as it stages Into the Woods.

Shows run March 5-7 at the RDP Arts Centre.

“The show brings familiar characters into unexpected situations,” said Piper Rempel, teacher at Hunting Hills. “Fairy tales are meant to teach us lessons — whether it’s the baker and his wife wanting to build a family, and grow their relationship, or Red wanting to be independent and go out on her own.”

The production involves close to 75 students in grades nine through 12, and will showcase their acting, singing, and technical production skills.

“On average, the band is practicing five to six hours a week together, in addition to individual practice at home,” said Amanda Fitch, band teacher.

“The music is levels above what high school students typically play – it’s Broadway-level. The cast is just as committed, spending countless hours perfecting their performances, and our tech students are tackling challenges they’ve never attempted before. All of our students are really dedicating themselves to this production. It’s going to be a really great show, and we can’t wait to share it with the community.”

The show is recommended for ages eight and up, for some intense fantasy situations. To purchase tickets, click here.
