Haslam Family Flexible Theatre
Maryville College Theatre and Alpha Psi Omega Present Venus in Fur

Thomas, a beleaguered young playwright/director is desperate to find an actress to play Vanda, the female lead in his adaptation of the classic sadomasochistic tale, Venus in Furs. Into his empty audition room walks a vulgar and equally desperate
actress--oddly enough, named Vanda. As the two work through the script they blur the line
between play and reality, entering into an increasingly serious game of submission and domination that only one of them can win.

Contains mature subject matter, rated R for sexual content and adult themes.

Tickets are $10 for Adults and $7 for Students

One of Sondheim’s most popular works, “Into the Woods” brings together the classic Fairytale characters from The Brothers Grimm with the Broadway magic of Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine to create a rare modern classic. 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, they set off on a journey to break it. Everyone’s wish is granted, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later.

“Into the Woods” won the 1988 Tony Awards for Best Book and Best Musical and the 2002 Tony Award for Best Musical Revival. It has become one of Stephen Sondheim’s most produced musicals with numerous productions all across the world, as well as the upcoming Disney film which will be released at Christmas.
