The Streetsboro Senior Center is offering three field trips to seniors during the coming months: A trip see Stephen Sondheim's "Into the Woods" in Mansfield; a trip to The Meadows Racetrack and Casino in Pennsylvania; and a visit to the Riverside Inn for a medieval feast.
Take a trip
'Into the Woods'
One of the most popular musicals of the past 20 years, "Into the Woods" tells a story of intertwining fairy tales, as a variety of familiar characters venture "Into the Woods" to improve their lots in life. The results are both humorous and poignant.
The setting for the Aug. 15 production near Mansfield will be the 1,700-seat, outdoor Johnny Appleseed Amphitheater. The Mansfield Symphony will provide the orchestral accompaniment.
The $70 per person cost includes round-trip bus transportation, including driver's gratuity, dinner, backstage tour, the performance itself, and applicable taxes and gratuity.
Attendees are asked to meet at the Streetsboro Senior Center at 3:15 p.m. The bus will return around 11:15 p.m. A sign-up sheet is posted at the senior center. RSVP by June 22.
