"If you've ever wanted to venture into the woods with Sondheim, now's your chance-no teleportation or upstate trek required. This October, theater director Miles Sternfeld will bring a site-specific, immersive production of to Staten Island's 140-acre Camp Pouch, transforming the wilderness into a fairytale under the stars. Running through October 25, with just four performances remaining, the limited run is the inaugural production from Sternfeld Studio and promises a singular experience: 25 audience members per night, 225 total tickets."
"Each evening begins around a campfire before guests set off, lantern in hand, to follow the story's familiar characters through the trees. "This is not your typical Into the Woods ," says Sternfeld. "It's a spiritual, communal journey into the heart of the fairy tale-a mythic, acoustic, firelit fever dream set in the very woods the characters sing about." That "fever dream" is enhanced by a newly commissioned acoustic orchestration from tour arranger Lena Gabrielle, featuring guitar, bass, violin, accordion, melodica and hand percussion."

Broadway cast members perform in costumes and set pieces made from natural and reclaimed materials, integrating performance and place in real time.
