DMTC's Summer Youth Production - "Into The Woods" (Act I)

Left: Jack (Andrea Canas) and Little Red Riding Hood (McKinley Carlisle).


The summer teen group (ages 13 - 17) was very coherent and unusually talented this year, this time singing the sophisticated rhythms and harmonies of Stephen Sondheim's "Into The Woods".

Frankly I'm glad DMTC went edgy this year with the summer youth production. By presenting the teens with a real challenge, it forced the teens to step up to their potential. No one coasted with this show!
