James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim take everyone’s favorite storybook characters and bring them together for a timeless, yet relevant, piece… and a rare modern classic. The Tony Award-winning book and score are both enchanting and touching.
The story follows a Baker and his wife, who wish to have a child; Cinderella, who 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. Everyone’s wish is granted, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later with disastrous results.

One of Sondheim’s most popular works, Into the Woods is a musically sophisticated show with the opportunity to feature actors adept at dark comedy. Designers will especially enjoy highlighting the fantastical elements of this magical word.

As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, a rare and timely opportunity arises to share a story that has never been fully told—the story of horses of Monticello. This book opens a window into Thomas Jefferson’s world, where horses were not only essential to transportation and farming, but also to the rhythm of daily life at Monticello. Horses of Monticello is more than history on a page. It brings to life the elegance, utility, and symbolism of horses in early America, connecting Jefferson’s mountaintop home to the broader story of the nation’s founding. The book offers readers an intimate glimpse of the animals that carried ideas, goods, and people across a growing country, illuminating the deep relationship between horses and the American experiment in liberty.

Dr. Carrie Bess Douglass is Emeritus Professor of Anthropology at Mary Baldwin University and the University of Virginia. She began her research about Jefferson’s horses in 2008 as a Fellow at the International Center of Jefferson Studies, located at Monticello. She is the author of The Horses of Monticello: Equine Culture in Thomas Jefferson’s Virginia.

Local favorite Rachel is launching her next novel! She will be talking with Kevin Powers at VCU's Cabell Library. Each ticket includes a signed copy of The Half Life! There is a separate ticket for an online-only event, since this will be broadcast from the library. Please see the separate event for that ticket if you cannot make it in person. About the Book: When twenty-three-year-old Eileen O’Malley meets charismatic naval officer Paul Archer in a Charleston department store, she doesn’t expect to fall so hard, so fast. But Paul is funny and ambitious, and soon, Eileen’s got a ring on her finger and is following him to the tiny, sun-drenched Mediterranean island of La Maddalena, where Paul will be heading up Radiological Controls aboard a submarine tender. In La Maddalena, Eileen joins a makeshift community of navy wives who are hell-bent on making the island feel a little more like home. But for Eileen, whose brother died in Vietnam, home is a loaded word, and as she settles into life on the island—taking Italian lessons and learning to make culurgiones—she begins to love the place for all the ways it is not like where she comes from. Still, it doesn’t take long for Eileen to be confronted with the complexities of being an American abroad. The decision to send nuclear-powered subs into the La Maddalena Archipelago was a contentious one, and the U.S. government is doing whatever it can to ensure that the island—not to mention all of Italy—doesn’t go communist in the next election. When Italian activists and scientists begin to sound the alarm about possible nuclear contamination in the water, the island erupts in a series of protests, made worse by the ongoing mishaps of the U.S. Navy. Soon, Eileen’s marriage falters and her loyalties begin to shift as she is drawn into a web of secrets—and to a local journalist who forces her to imagine a life beyond the one she’s been handed. Atmospheric, sexy, and quietly defiant, The Half Life is a story of love, complicity, and awakening—of one woman forced to choose between loyalty to her husband and country and to the Italian locals who show her the high cost of American exceptionalism.
