Perins School Theatre are pleased to share that our Summer production for 2024 will be ‘Into The Woods,’ a Tony Award-winning musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and a book by James Lapine.  The musical intertwines the plots of several Brothers Grimm fairy tales, including ‘Little Red Riding Hood,’ ‘Cinderella,’ ‘Jack and the Beanstalk,’ and “Rapunzel,” exploring the consequences of the characters’ wishes and quests.  Whilst exploring themes of morality, responsibility, the consequences of one’s actions, and the pursuit of wishes and desires.  The score of “Into the Woods” is known for its complex and intricate melodies, as well as its clever and witty lyrics by Stephen Sondheim.   

This year we have two incredible casts, over 200 students, a Community Orchestra, an Adult Choir as well as past students who remain part of the Perins School Theatre family.  If you have ever seen one of our productions you will know how ambitious we are, and this year is no different. This year, we will not be performing at School, the sports hall will not be turned into a theatre stage, but instead, we will be back on stage at the prestigious ‘The Grange’ and we couldn’t be more excited to show you what we can do! 

Rehearsals are in full swing and on Monday 25th March we premiered our new promotional film at The Winchester Science Centre, bookings will open on Wednesday 27th March at 6pm!  We will also be putting on a wonderful community picnic on Sunday 21st July, as a celebration of this fantastic production and its historical venue. Please ensure you are following us on our socials @perinsschooltheatre, for all updates and behind-the-scenes footage.
