Youth Theatre and AYAT

Winter 2026

Into the Woods

Van Wert Civic Theatre is excited to announce auditions for its youth theater production of Into the Woods. Auditions will take place at the theater on Tuesday and Wednesday, November 18 and 19, from 4:15 to 6:15 pm each day. Performances are scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, January 24 and 25, at the Niswonger Performing Arts Center.

Into the Woods, with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and book by James Lapine, intertwines several beloved fairy tales—including Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk, Little Red Riding Hood, and Rapunzel—into a captivating story about wishes, consequences, and the journey toward self-discovery. Filled with humor, heart, and unforgettable music, this musical explores what happens after “happily ever after.”

Performances: Jan 24, 2026 at 7:30 PM & Jan 25, 2026 at 2 PM at the Niswonger Performing Arts Center.
