Into the Woods

‘Witches can be right, giants can be good.
You decide what's right, you decide what's good.’

The Stephen Sondheim beloved modern musical theatre classic comes to life on the Queen Street Playhouse stage! The Narrator introduces the cast of characters, each with a wish: the Baker and Baker’s wife long for a child but cannot conceive, Jack desperately wishes his cow Milky White would once again provide milk so he wouldn’t have to sell her, and Cinderella dreams of attending the king’s ball and someday being free of her cruel stepmother and step-sisters. When all their tales, and the tales of other fairy tale characters, lead to the woods and become intertwined, dreams come true and wishes are granted. Their happiness has consequences, though, and the characters are forced to band together to save their magical world in this lush and beloved musical!

This production stars Footlight Executive Director Brian Porter as The Baker as well as Footlight favorites Jenny Bettke (Little Red), Tyler Inabinette (Rapunzel’s Prince) and Rebecca Weatherby (Rapunzel), and is directed by Clark Haywood (Proof, Misery).

Maggie Worsdale Sings Cole Porter

Maggie Worsdale Sings Cole Porter

Had “Mickey Mouse” and “Strauss” been rhymed before Cole Porter wrote the music and lyrics to the song “YOU’RE THE TOP”?

Cole Porter (1891-1964) set new standards for popular song-writing, and his lyrics and melodies are as bright and sophisticated today as when they first dazzled audiences decades ago.

Cabaret Singer, Maggie Worsdale, highlights a handful of the more popular Porter songs and the stories behind these songs in her second speakeasy show at the Queen Street Playhouse after a sold out run in 2022.

Jazz guitarist Kevin Eubanks said this about Maggie – “Listening to her incredibly versatile vocal quality brings to mind many adjectives that only begin to describe her unique talent; sassy, sophisticated, broad, intimate, vivacious, vibrant, clear and electrifying are just a few that approach giving the listener an idea of what to expect.”

An international artist, Maggie Worsdale has performed at many of the major concert halls, cabarets and jazz venues around the country and in Europe. She has released four studio albums and has appeared as a guest artist on three others.

Maggie Worsdale has a voice that defies categorization. Jazz, Broadway, standards and novelty songs are all part of her repertoire. She is a richly talented, entertainer who has that special something, that natural born nuance that captures an audience.

Two shows: 6pm and 8pm (55 minutes each)
