Shepparton stars head Into the Woods

STEP into a world of enhancement with the Echuca-Moama Theatre Company’s (EMTC) dazzling new production of Into the Woods. This darkly comic twist on classic fairy tales promises to captivate audiences as local talent from Shepparton takes centre stage, bringing beloved characters to life.

Leading the charge (and the bread-making) is Sean O’Brien, playing the Baker while also co-directing the show. Sean has risen to the challenge of his dual roles, swapping his face paint (from starring as Shrek last year) for something less green. His co-star Megan Scott, who played Princess Fiona, will step into Cinderella’s golden slippers.

Numurkah brings two stars to the stage: Juliana De Quilettes as the Witch and Dillon Shelley as Cinderella’s Prince. Expect sparks to fly with their magical and regal onstage dynamic!

Luke Martin will climb to new heights as Jack, of beanstalk fame, with his rendition of “Giants in the Sky” expected to be a showstopper. Tayla Jenkins takes on the role of the Narrator, weaving together the stories with flair and wit, while Tara Jones brings a fresh take on Snow White.

Into the Woods intertwines classic Grimm Brothers’ fairy tales, exploring the consequences of wishes and the complex nature of human desires. With a limited run of five shows at the Echuca Paramount from May 30 to June 2, 2024, early booking is essential.
