Town Hall Theater's Center for Learning & Engagement presents:
Wonderland!
Friday, December 4 at 7pm
Saturday, December 5 at 2pm
Sunday, December 6 at 2pm
On the historic Rothrock Main Stage
Ten young actors, more than 30 characters, and one very backwards world.
This December, join our adventure to Wonderland, a world where everything runs backwards and the usual rules don't apply. Don't worry. Ten young actors will guide you through it, playing more than 30 characters as they sing, dance, and act their way through everything Wonderland throws at them. It's an upbeat coming-of-age story for audiences of all ages.
You'll spot familiar faces from Alice's Wonderland and meet dozens of new ones: a baseball team, a gospel group called The Responsibilities, a train conductor, star-struck tourists, light-saber-wielding knights, and plenty more. The show weaves together Lewis Carroll classics, keeping his original language and poetry while adding a few modern twists.
Wonderland! is written by James DeVita, with music and lyrics by Bill Francoeur. Christina Dewar directs. She trained in musical theater at Cornish College of the Arts, then worked as an actor on stage and in film in New York City. Annette Franklin is the music director and pianist.
