ALICE IN WONDERLAND

Have you ever wanted to travel down a rabbit hole or take part in a mad tea party? Join us this Summer and you’ll get your chance! A collaborative work of absurd theater, our version of “Alice in Wonderland” is based loosely on the Lewis Carroll stories.  Alice finds herself falling down the rabbit hole and from there tries desperately to get back home.  In our production we have multiple Alices, plenty of mad tea party guests and of course, her royal highness the Queen of Hearts.  The staging is done in the style of absurd theater.  We follow an outline version of the books not based on the movie.  The campers add their own voice to this creative theater piece.  It’s a mad and funny production!

There will be a performance for friends and family on Friday August 1st.
