Join us for a magical night of entertainment as we venture Into the Woods and explore this unusual mishmash of classic fairy tales, told with Broadway flair. Famous fairy tale characters from the Brothers Grimm step outside their traditional stories in this modern classic about wishes and their consequences. Music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and book by James Lapine. Into the Woods features "some of Sondheim’s wittiest lyrics as well as achingly beautiful melodies." (The Hollywood Reporter, July 27, 2019) This will be a musical treat not to be missed. Tickets on sale in June.

August 12-27 performances will take place at the
Robert Z. Hawkins Amphitheater, Bartley Ranch
6000 Bartley Ranch Road, Reno

September 8-11 performances will take place at Reno Little Theater, Pueblo St., Reno

COVID-19 

We are not posting audience protocols at this time, as the situation may change by August. Current guidelines do not require masks for outdoor events such as our performances at the Hawkins Amphitheater. If you have not been vaccinated, SSPA recommends that you wear a mask to our performance. Check back for mask requirements at Reno Little Theater, an indoor venue.

Thank you for your cooperation. Our top concern is the safety of our patrons and our actors and production crew.

​Refunds: All sales are final and non-refundable. However, if a show is cancelled due to weather or unforeseen circumstances, tickets may be exchanged for an alternate performance date or refunded through our ticket service. In the event of wildfire smoke, our experience has been that the smoke is often worse during the day, but the evenings usually clear. We hesitate to cancel early - we wait to the last minute to cancel!  We reserve the right to have a 30-minute rain or smoke delay for any performance before continuing the show. If after 30 minutes of the start time of the show, it starts to rain or the smoke gets worse and a decision is made to cancel, the announcement will be made from the stage. ​Exchanges are subject to availability and restrictions may apply.
