Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland

by Deborah Lynn Frockt
based on the novel by Lewis Carroll

It’s a very ordinary and rather boring day for Alice until she spots a White Rabbit with a pocket watch whizzing through a world that’s beyond imagination! Her insatiable curiosity draws her into a madcap adventure in which she meets remarkable characters like the Caterpillar, Talking Flowers, a Duchess and her Cook, a Gryphon and Mock Turtle, a Mad Hatter and a March Hare. When Alice finally catches up with the White Rabbit in the Queen’s Court, she’s in for her biggest adventure of all. The wonder-filled world of Alice is a fantastic journey for the adventurous of any age.

Reviews

“

This big, color-splashed show retains Carroll’s wonderfully imaginative and familiar characters, and much of his playfully nonsensical verse.

This family friendly show has something for everyone. The kids will love the fun loving and fantastical Tweedles, and Parents will love the jokes and over the top performances from the Queen of Hearts and the insane Duchess!
