Little Theatre


An unabashedly silly adaptation of the childhood classic with hip-hopping music, Wonderland! is an upbeat, coming-of-age story that will have audiences of all ages grinning like a Cheshire cat!

Visit some of your favorite characters from Alice in Wonderland and meet dozens of new ones, too: a baseball team, a gospel group called The Responsibilities, a train conductor, star-struck tourists and much more. You’ll love the toe-tapping "Jabberwocky" and "The Walrus and the Carpenter" as well as the hysterical "I Was a Good Egg But Then I Done Went Bad."

Performed by 4th and 5th graders. Based on the novel Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll. Book by James DeVita; music and lyrics by Bill Francoeur. Directed by Laurene Franjione and Amy Meilink.
