As the sun sets across campus, students gather in Crowell Hall to prepare for the production of “Into the Woods” premiering at Biola on Jan. 26. The musical, presented by Biola Opera and Theatre, brings to life the storybook characters many have heard about growing up. With characters like Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, Jack from “Jack and the Beanstalk” and Rapunzel, “Into the Woods” immediately captures the audience’s attention. 

INTO THE WOODS

The talented cast and crew will work hard in the coming week as they finalize the final logistics of the show. To keep everything running smoothly and to improvise when necessary requires much skill and practice from the production team. The musical features beautiful set design and lighting, as well as costuming and makeup to bring every aspect of the show together. 

The show features an incredible storyline brought to life by a gifted cast and crew. The musical urges audiences to ask themselves what extent they would go to achieve their yearnings. Spectators can expect an evening full of fun that will have them singing the catchy tunes as they walk out the doors. 

“Into The Woods” is set to premiere this weekend on Jan. 26 and showings continue through Jan. 29. Be sure to grab tickets with friends before they sell out.

Fashion Castillo-Delgadillo, Arts & Entertainment Editor
Fashion Castillo is a sophomore public relations and journalism major who enjoys going to coffee shops and is an avid concert-goer.  Born and raised in Southern California, I’ve always been an avid concert-goer and music lover. From movie premiers and concerts in Hollywood to watching surf competitions in Huntington, I’ve always enjoyed various forms of entertainment in SoCal.  Growing up listening to 90s punk music with my dad grew into a passion that made the movie Almost Famous my dream reality (even though I wasn’t on tour with a band at 15 years old writing an article for Rolling Stones Magazine). Although I played various instruments throughout elementary and high school, I didn’t have a passion for performing. Journalism introduced me to a new perspective on the music industry–sparking my interest in writing and photography. I realized there were other ways to continue exploring my passion for music and entertainment. When I'm not at a concert, you can find me at the nearest beach paddle boarding or in a coffee shop with a latte in hand. I enjoy watching movies (specifically Wes Anderson movies) and going to hockey games (go Kings go!).
