Our Next Show:
Into THe woods
May 2 – 3, 2025
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.
Hilliard Bradley High School Theater is home to Troupe #7415 of the International Thespian Society. All Bradley students are welcome to attend troupe meetings, and by participating in theater, they earn Thespian points. After participating in enough shows and activities to earn 10 points, students are eligible to become an officially inducted member of the International Thespian Society. After becoming a Thespian, the students may audition for Thespian State Conference productions and apply for State student officer positions, among other benefits.
The Thespian Motto is “Act well your part, there all honor lies.”
