										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Into the Woods is based on familiar fairy tales. Many things happen simultaneously on stage in this musical.</p>
<p>A long time ago, the Baker’s father stole from the Witch’s garden to feed his pregnant wife.  As punishment, the Witch took their baby girl when she<br />
was born and locked her away in a tower. The baby’s name is Rapunzel.  The Witch also placed a curse on the Baker’s entire family<br />
so they cannot have children.</p>
<p>he Baker and the Baker’s Wife now live in the family house. They wish to have children but cannot because of<br />
the Witch’s curse.  The Witch tells the Baker and the Baker’s Wife if they find four specific things she will remove the curse.<br />
They need: a cow as white as milk; he hair as yellow as corn; the cape as red as blood; the slipper as pure as gold.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Stages Performing Arts Academy proudly presents the world premiere of Catch Me When I Fall, an original, Broadway-style musical inspired by the lived experiences of Washington County residents facing economic hardship.  Catch Me When I Fall is a social justice docudrama.  Every story depicted in the production is based on true experiences shared by members of the community, thoughtfully woven together to highlight resilience, struggle, and hope.</p>
<p>The musical is rooted in an extensive interview process that began in December 2024 at GG&#8217;s House, where Walder trained a team of eight volunteers to conduct and record conversations with local residents.  In total, 50 individuals were interviewed, resulting in more than 70 hours of recorded material that were then transformed into real-life accounts to create a series of themed monologues and dialogues.</p>
<p>Written and directed by Jodi Walder, with music and lyrics by Off-Broadway composer Noel Katz, the production blends powerful storytelling with a dynamic theatrical score.</p>
<p>This groundbreaking new work offers audiences an intimate and moving look at the realities faced by many in Washington County, while celebrating the power of storytelling to foster empathy and connection.</p>
<p>Partially funded by the Cultural Coalition of Washington County</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s our show now, kid. The ghost-with-the-most comes to the stage in <em>Beetlejuice JR.</em>, the frightfully funny musical based on the beloved motion picture turned Broadway phenomenon. Lydia Deetz is a strange and unusual teenager, still grieving the loss of her mother and obsessed with the whole &#8220;being dead thing.&#8221; Lucky for Lydia, she and her father move to a new house haunted by a recently deceased couple and Beetlejuice, a delightful demon with a real zest for life. When Lydia calls on Beetlejuice to scare away anyone with a pulse, this double-crossing specter shows his true stripes, unleashing a (Nether)world of pandemonium.</p>
<p>With music and lyrics by Tony Award-nominee Eddie Perfect and a book by Tony Award-nominated pair Anthony King and Scott Brown, <em>Beetlejuice</em> was nominated for eight 2019 Tony Awards including Best New Musical. A viral &#8220;sucks-yes&#8221; on social media, this musical struck a chord with young theatre lovers who adored its unabashed humor and emotional honesty.</p>
<p>Created for the generation that made it a hit, <em>Beetlejuice JR.</em> is a wacky theatrical party for all!</p>

<p>Many moons ago in a far-off place, Queen Aggravain decreed no couples could marry until her son, Prince Dauntless, found a bride. Princesses came from far and wide to win the hand of the prince, but none could pass the impossible tests given to them by the Queen. That is, until the “shy” swamp princess, Winnifred the Woebegone, showed up. Would she be able to pass the Sensitivity Test, marry her prince and help Lady Larken and Sir Harry to the altar? Carried on a wave of wonderful songs, by turns hilarious and raucous, romantic and melodic, this rollicking spin on the classic tale <em>The Princess and the Pea</em> provides some side-splitting shenanigans. After all, a princess is a delicate thing.</p>
