Knight Theatre, St. Norbert College's student-run theatre group, will present a production of Stephen Sondheim's acclaimed musical "Into the Woods." Performances will be at the Webb Theatre of the Abbot Pennings Hall of Fine Arts on the St. Norbert College campus. Showtimes are Thursday, Jan. 29, 7:30-10 p.m.; Friday, Jan. 30, 7:30-10 p.m.; Saturday, Jan. 31, 2-4:30 p.m.; Saturday, Jan. 31, 7:30-10 p.m.; and Sunday, Feb. 1, 2-4:30pm.

"Into the Woods" offers a different take on a variety of well-known fairy tales. It follows the fortunes of four people out to realize their wishes: 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. An encounter with a witch complicates matters, and a series of disastrous turns leads the characters to reconsider what they have wished for.

The cast for the show includes the following St. Norbert College students: Erika Jahnke (Green Bay), Everette Berchmans (Green Bay), Ana Bakken (Green Bay), Ben Olejniczek (Green Bay), Sara Gunderson (Appleton), Kelsey Upchurch (Appleton), Genevieve Gannon (Plymouth), Davis Cox (St. Charles, Ill.), Collin Hess (Suamico), Benny Behnke (Kiel), Steven Sizer (West Bend), Brian Falk (Belgium), Natalee Cunningham (Oostburg), Samantha Kolb (Neenah) and Logan Thomas (Baileys Harbor).
