 - Into the Woods was the largest production so far for the Moonlight Players. This was the last show the Moonlight Players produced at The Lakeridge Winery.  Due to increased production at the facility, floor space was no longer going to be available for show production.  The Moonlight Players began a frantic search for a new home.  It was during the production of Into the Woods that Dr. John A. Crofford, a long-time patron and member of The Moonlight Players,  announced the possibility of a new permanent home for the troupe.  Unfortunately, this did not happen as we had hoped, but where there is a will, there is a play.
