“Into the woods you go again to take another journey.”

Once upon a time, James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim took everyone’s favorite fairytale characters and brought them together into an enchanting and award-winning musical. We are overjoyed to bring it to Durango this season. Staged with imagination, puppetry, passion, and Merely Players’ bold and sparkling creativity, the show brilliantly weaves music and life lessons into an unforgettable tale.  It’s an adventurous world of glass slippers, beanstalks, giants, magic, and witches – where wishes are granted and happily ever after is not always what it seems.  Anything can happen in the woods. Parental discretion advised.

Merely Underground is a small space, and we want to ensure that as many people can see our play as possible. To maximize audience capacity, we have built risers and have two seating options. All seats have a great view of the stage.

Comfortable padded stool with high back.  If you are worried about someone’s head blocking you, this is a great choice.  We appreciate you selecting these if you are able, so that people who are unable to get on a stool can have the chairs. 

This seating option may not be available for all shows.

If you would like to be added to our mailing list so that you can stay informed about our shows, auditions, volunteer opportunities and all things Merely, sign up by sending us an email:  merelydirectors@gmail.com

All seats will be assigned. Tickets are not mailed. You can pick them up at WILL CALL on the night of the performance.
