Western Illinois University Theatre and Dance has announced its 2026-27 season, featuring a lineup of classic theatre, contemporary musical theatre, original dance works, and a showcase highlighting the talents of WIU students and faculty. The 2026-27 season will take place in the new Goldfarb Center for Performing Arts, with performances in the Clow Theatre and Hainline Theatre, in Brown Hall.

This beloved musical is a high-stakes collision of every fairy tale character you know! INTO THE WOODS is an epic adventure with a Baker and his Wife venturing into a haunted forest to break a family curse, finding themselves entangled in the stories of a Witch, Cinderella, Jack (and his beanstalk), and a wolf-stalked Little Red Riding Hood. Along the way, "happily ever after" takes a turn.
