Over the last two weekends, Reynolds Hall has been brimming with spectators eager to see UM Theatre's newest production, Into the Woods. Into the Woods is a classic Broadway musical by Steven Sondheim that focuses on fairytale characters' stories and how they all coincide with a journey through the woods.
With the short time frame of two months and limited space in Reynolds Hall, the Theatre department had to get especially creative with their set and costume designs. Costume student Leilani Hayes explained that all of the costumes were made from scratch. They used shiny fabrics and painting techniques to make it seem as if characters like the Prince(s) were well-endowed with finery.

The set design also involved some creative work with several types of foam in order to create a dirt and stone effect, as well as specific painting on the walls and set pieces. Also, creative building made the inside of Reynolds Theater seem much bigger on the inside.

This amazing production is clearly just the beginning of the creative developments that UM Theatre will be making in the future.
