TheStory
Child Play’s 2006 theatre training program presents Lewis Carroll’s nineteenth century classic “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland”. The play features all the well know characters from the book and includes music, songs, puppets and 34 talented performers and crew aged between 8 and 15 years old.
Alice follows a white rabbit down his rabbit hole and finds herself in a wonderful land full of strange and crazy creatures… In Wonderland anything can happen! During her many adventures on the stage, Alice shrinks to three inches tall and grows to the size of a house. She swims in a pool of tears, runs a caucus race, talks with a Cheshire cat, drinks tea with a Mad Hatter, plays croquet with the Queen of Hearts, dances with the Mock Turtle and the Gryphon, plus much, much more!
“I don’t want to go among mad people,” said Alice.
“Oh, you can’t help that, we’re all mad here!” the Cheshire Cat grinned.
