Nazareth Academy show: Oct. 27-30

Stephen Sondheim’s “Into the Woods”

As the result of the curse of a once-beautiful witch, a baker and his wife are childless. Three days before the rise of a blue moon, they venture into the forest to find the ingredients that will reverse the spell and restore the witch's beauty: a milk-white cow, hair as yellow as corn, a blood-red cape, and a slipper of gold. During their journey, they meet Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel and Jack, each one on a quest to fulfill a wish.

Current Holy Ghost Prep students will play the following roles in next month's Nazareth Academy musical. 

Charles Lawall - Baker

Noah Tapp - Jack

Garrison Moore - Cinderella's Prince

Albert Wilson - The Mysterious Man

Matthew Davis - Narrator

Jeff DiFrancisco - Rapunzel’s Prince

Adam Gasiewski - The Wolf

Stefano Arnone - The Steward

James Nycz - Townsperson

Christian Cymbalski - Townsperson

Dean Giuliano - Townsperson

Please make plans to see the Nazareth Academy show!
