Into the Darkness
Directed and adapted by David Hanzal
Original songs composed by Dan Dukich

Into the Darkness  ran November 15-24, 2019 at Shakespearean Youth Theatre in St. Paul, MN.

A princess, whose radiant beauty blinds all who look upon her, finds the one person willing to submit to her test for suitors: the court fool. A young woman travels east of the sun and west of the moon with the hopes of rescuing her best friend, who has been captured by trolls. Join us for a pairing of dark and dreamy one acts that explore the transformational power of love. Combining performances from actors and puppets with original music, learn if all fairy tales about love really end with "and they lived happily ever after."
