You think we know how the fairy tales go? Think again. Come join ACT ONE Theatre's High School program as we venture deep Into the Woods, where "happily ever after" takes a detour.
As a childless baker and his wife try to start a family, they discover a host of fairy tale characters seeking the fulfillment of their own wishes and dreams. Princes and princesses trying to find love; a witch trying to reclaim youth and beauty; and families struggling to put food on the table. As they venture deeper into the woods, they discover the realities of life, as well as its consequences. James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim take everyone's favorite storybook characters and bring them together for a timeless, yet relevant, piece... a rare modern classic. This enchanting and touching Tony Award-winning book and score remind us that life is an unpredictable journey, filled with twists and turns, and that no one is alone.

ACT ONE Theatre School: Wexford and Glenshaw, PA.
September - Spring
Our 2nd-8th Grade Theatre Program promises elementary and middle school-aged children fun and challenging classes, interesting material, and dedicated teachers. This program is divided into two semesters, .
The fall semester is process-oriented, focusing on skill-building. Students meet once a week for two-and-a-half hours. During this time, they are grouped by age into small classes to study: Acting, Dance, Voice, Improv, Audition Technique and Acting for the Camera.
The winter/spring semester is production-oriented, focusing on rehearsals for a fully-produced musical. Every student is cast and used extensively in the musical. Rehearsals occur twice a week for two hours each session, with more frequent rehearsals during the final two weeks leading up to the performances. There are multiple casts for the musical, and each cast has its own unique rehearsal schedule. This allows families to select a cast that best fits their own schedules.
