This show is heavily reliant on the suspension of belief, believing what is happening in front of you regardless of how unrealistic or staged it appears on the surface. Because of this, the believability relies heavily on the actors, the dedication gone into their characters, and the way they choose to interact with the world around them. If they believe it, so too will the audience. Our audience especially, will be seeing a largely unexplored side of Into the Woods, up close and personal. We have the privilege of a space that forces creativity in sometimes the most wonderful and outlandish ways, like inviting the audience to join our cast in their adventure, rather than observe it from afar. Not only is this a feat for the Springfield area, but it is also a challenge posed to the cast. Each and every person stepping into the wood must believe that they are there, whether or not they intended for that outcome upon arrival.
