CCM’s production of Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s Into the Woods has earned nine awards from the League of Cincinnati Theatres (LCT)!

LCT panelists praised nearly every aspect of the production, which was described as “fitting CCM like the golden slipper on Cinderella’s foot.” Awards were given in the following categories:

Into the Woods Wig & Make-Up Designer Kaitlyn Adams recently sat down with CCM Public Information Assistant and Arts Administration student Jenifer Thomas to discuss the work that went into this monumental production. Kaitlyn is handling wig and make-up design for this production alongside CCM faculty member Kelly Yurko.
Jenifer Thomas: Hi Kaitie! Tell me a little bit about yourself.
Kaitlyn Adams: I’m a Senior from Cincinnati. I went to high school at Seton on the West side.
JT: Local girl, huh? So what got you into wigs and make-up?
KA: My mom is actually a wig master and make-up artist, so I’ve grown up with it.
JT: And why’d you choose CCM?
KA: There are only two schools in the country that teach wigs and make-up. The other school focuses primarily on wigs and make-up for film, and that wasn’t where I was interested. I want to do stage work.
JT: So when you found out you were assigned to design Into the Woods, what did you do?
