Leddy Center's Into the Woods

Jack:  "Look, Milky White!  It's the Butcher!"
The Baker stops by Jack's house after an earthquake turns out be another Giant falling--an angry Giant!  He seeks Jack's help, but is foiled by Jack's
overprotective Mother.

"I wish!  More than anything!  More than life!  More than
footmen!"  Cinderella is married,
perhaps not as happily as she would like, to the Prince.

The Baker, his Wife, their child, and
Little Red Ridinghood, whose house has been crushed and who can't find her mother, prepare to go into the woods to escape the Giant's wrath.

Witch:  "Stay with me child!  We'll be happy again as we once were."
The Witch warns her unhappy, tormented daughter Rapunzel about the Giant, and
urges her to come back to live with her, but
Rapunzel blames her mother for her troubles, then runs, hysterical, into the woods.

The Princes have bigger problems than an angry Giant--or so their arrogant minds lead them to believe.
Cinderella's Prince is enchanted by Sleeping Beauty in her tower, but is thwarted by a prickly thicket, and Rapunzel's Prince by Snow White in her casket, which is guarded by the seven dwarfs, for whom he has a strange aversion.
"Agony!  How it cuts like a knife!
Ah, well!  Back to my wife!"

"Where's the tree?  Where's the lily pond?!
Where's Granny?!!"
A distraught Little Red Ridinghood begins to see the horrible reality of the Giant's destruction of the world she knew as she, the Baker, and his wife with their baby delve deeper into the increasingly unfamiliar and terrifying woods.

Narrator:  "Wait!  If you kill me, there'll be no one to tell the story!!"
Witch:  "Some of us don't like the way you're telling it!"
Witch:  "Here's the lad!"
Narrator, as he is picked up by the giant:  "I'm not the lad!"
Giant:  "This is not the lad!"
Baker:  "No!  Don't drop him!"
Narrator:  "Aaaaaaaaaaah!"
A pivotal moment in the show.  The angry, frightened characters all come together in the wood and make the Narrator their scapegoat.  They
attempt to convince the Giant that the Narrator is Jack, the one for
whom she searches.  In the ensuing scene, the Narrator is killed.
Now they must all write their own story ...
