For Laredo Theater Guild International’s production of Into the Woods, the set design harnessed the magic of light and shadow, mirroring the way sunlight, moonlight, and foliage transform the forest. Stylized silhouettes of trees framed a whimsical village, where bold, colorful structures stood against a layered backdrop that shifted with the passage of time and mood. The interplay of shadow and hue created both depth and fantasy, inviting the audience into a world where fairy tales blur with reality. Through simplicity and abstraction, the design captured the musical’s emotional landscape — enchanting, mysterious, and ever-changing like the woods themselves.
