The Performing Arts Department in Arts & Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis will present a new production of the Tony Award-winning classic “Into the Woods” Oct. 21-30 in Edison Theatre. The Stephen Sondheim play is a sly deconstruction of beloved fairy tales.

As longtime president of Mount Holyoke College, Mary Woolley helped to transform university education for women in the United States. In a new production of “Bull in a China Shop,” the Performing Arts Department will explore Woolley’s groundbreaking career and her decades-long relationship with Jeannette Marks, chair of Mount Holyoke’s English department.
