The opener of our 10th season!
About the Show:
STC’s first ever company adaptation!
Leaving the river bank of Lewis Carroll’s original masterpiece, our Alice begins by walking down a hallway on her first day in a new school. After falling down a locker, Alice must make her way through the clique infested Wonderland. The only way she’ll get out, is if she figures out the trickiest riddle: Herself.
Adapted from both Alice in Wonderland & Through the Looking Glass, this contemporary interpretation still houses all the classic character from the books, including: the Cheshire Cat, Caterpillar, Queen of Hearts, and Tweedle Dee & Dum. Along with a new take on the script, this production will also include new music to accompany Alice on her journey, and a handful of beautifully illustrated projections to transport the audience through Wonderland.
