Wonderland 2023

Wonderland 2023 is a one-act musical developed for young actors and diversified audiences.  Lewis Carroll’s Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and its sequel Through the Looking-Glass (1871) are well-loved stories throughout realms and across lifetimes —stories we’ve used to escape and to dream for generations. Wonderland 2023 aspires to be the soundtrack of a dream that lights a groovy melody of madness under a pot to boil something within you. The original cast featured 57 students from grades 2-5, as part of  the Drama Connections program. We wanted this show to feel like a rocket ship, “leaping through the sky like a tiger” —a blast from the past. Are you ready for take off?
