by | Jan 16, 2025 | Education, Latest

Wylie East Theatre students rehearse a scene from “Into the Woods.” Performances are Thursday, Jan. 16, Friday, Jan. 17, and at 2 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 18 in the WEHS auditorium.

Classic tales will spring to life on stage as local high schools bring their theatrical flair to beloved stories this month.

Wylie East Theatre dives into the magical realm of “Into the Woods,” while Sachse High Theatre celebrates the spirited charm of Olaf in “Frozen.”

Performances take place this week for “Into the Woods.” The musical “combines the plots of classic fairy tales with a dark comedy twist,” said Samantha Miller, director of theatre. Characters from Rapunzel, Jack and the Beanstalk, Little Red Riding Hood and Cinderella come together in one story that explores the themes of connection and greed.
