New Work: Into the Woods

Just like with Peter Pan, here I chose to take what is typically given a low-level treatment and class it up, even if it is for a bunch of Shorecrest high school kids. Into the Woods is a musical fairy tale featuring the likes of Little Red Riding Hood, Jack (of Beanstalk fame), Rapunzel and more.
The poster attempts to capture not so much the whimsy of the story, but the genuine drama. Traditional fairy tales, after all, contain some dark subject matter, and this play capitalizes on that.
Commentary
For high school or not, this is a pimp poster. I’ve seen productions of this show and I like that you transfered the dark side into the poster. Your color selection is on point too.
