Principal cast members are Cattarinha Nunes as Alice, Calder Eaton as the Cheshire Cat, Kathleen Dunn as the Queen of Hearts and Jorge Carrillo as the Mad Hatter. There are plenty of laughs and references to pop culture which make this a play which is best for older children (grade 5 and up) and their grownups.

Students & Senior Citizens $12.00, General Admission $15.00.
Show Summary: “Alice in Wonderland” by Anne Coulter Martens presents a quaint and simplistic version of Lewis Carroll’s timeless classic. As the curtain rises, Alice slides into view at the end of her long fall down the rabbit-hole. It is a more delightful place for the audience than for Alice, who is trying desperately to get back home. She tries to get help from Wonderland’s craziest neighbors, the Mad Hatter, the Rabbit and from the very nice Cheshire Cat. Throughout her exploration of Wonderland, Alice comes to realize that finding the door that matches her special key is a more dangerous adventure than she thought.”
