Into the Woods is a Broadway musical written by Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine. This production was performed for the student body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" and the general public at Abraham Lincoln High School in March and April of 1995. A "special stage" was built in the middle of the cafetorium to create the atmosphere of "the woods," and the audience sat on raised bleachers along one side. No audience member was more than 20 feet from the stage. This created a great sense of immediacy for the audience and helped p oint out the metaphor of all our lives in the "woods".
