Kidwell News Editor The Clackamas Community College Theater Department will be presenting the musical “Into the Woods,” by Jame Lapin, which takes place “once upon a time in a far away kingdom,” according to the play’s director, Jack Shields. “In the over 70 plays that (we’ve) done here, this is the longest and most complex,” Shields said. “We have two large fist fulls of talent: cast and crew.” He explained that the crew is one of the most adept assemblies of musical, acting and design tal ent to come together from stu dents and the community. In all, 55 people auditioned for the 17 parts in the play. Ac cording to Shields, about 50 per cent of the cast are working full Tuition to increase in lieu of cuts time on the production. “Because community is our middle name, it gives us a better chance of having a full solid pro duction,” he explained. “Into, the Woods” is a fairy tale, morality play which includes the characters Cinderella, Jack (who is preparing to climb the bean stock), Little Red Riding Hood, Snow White, Repunzel, a witch and of course the villains and heroes who normally accom pany these characters. “I get to pull around a (wooden) cow the whole time,” said Dennis Corwin, who por trays Jack in the play. Jack also has a mother, and we find out through the course of theplay that Cinderella’sprincecharming and the prince who climbs Repunzel’s hair are brothers. “All of the cast find them- selves in the woods questing, and each finds something unex pected,” Shields said. One real surprise to the characters is when the wife of the giant comes to seek revenge on Jack. “Many of the characters don’t live through it,” Shields said. The moral behind the play is, “If we are going to get through this life successfully we must pull together,” Shields explained. The cast has been studying the music since mid-January and have been on stage since late March. Shields looks at it as a “work in progress.” “At this point in our rehears als, I’m convinced that the audi ence is going to be absolutely thrilled. Often I cannot say that at this point in rehearsals,” Shields expressed with enthusiasm. “The music, and particularly the voices, ST UNDENT SPECIAL 4iut Makin' it Great! 650-8200 1277 Molalla Ave. Oregon City, Oregon 11am-11pm Sun. thru Thur. 11 am-12am Fri. and Sat.
