A Tony Award winning musical, “Into the Woods” weaves together plotlines from a number of Brothers Grimm and Charles Perrault fairy tales to create a timeless yet relevant modern classic. With a book by James Lapine and music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, “Into the Woods” is a musically sophisticated, fantastical, and comedic production.

Founded in 1981 by former elementary school teacher Ruth Walp, Buena Park Youth Theatre was created due to public school budgetary cutbacks in the arts. Since then, the program has produced fully staged Broadway musicals with thousands of youth actors. The musicals continue to receive outstanding critical acclaim and attract audiences of all ages.
