Beckendorff JH Theatre Presents …

Elementary Night

Beckendorff JH Theatre Company will be presenting a special performance of Into the Woods Jr. for elemen-

tary aged students on Thursday, May 7th @ 6:00pm. Into the Woods Jr. has all of your favorite characters—

Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack (and his beanstalk), and the Witch, who meet and interact in this

wishes to attend the king's festival; and Jack, who wishes his cow would give milk. When the baker and his wife

learn that they cannot have a child because of a witch's curse, the two set off on a journey to break the curse

and wind up changed forever.

We hope to see you there!
