Holiday fun for the whole family
The Glen Eden Playhouse Theatre is to be invaded by White Rabbits, Mad Hatters, Bad Tempered Queens, Surly Mean Girl Flowers, Cheshire Cats and many, many more zany all singing, and all dancing characters as 35 West Auckland children present Disney’s Alice In Wonderland Jr. Running from April 18 to April 25 the show will entertain and delight the whole family. The cast, aged from 7 to 15 years, are thoroughly enjoying discovering the joy that this Lewis Carroll masterpiece holds. Alice is an hilarious, colourful show for both kids and adults alike and you will be foot tapping and tune humming and laughing for days after. The stage will come alive with colourful costumes and lights in a very fun setting. Lewis Carroll first introduced us to Alice in 1865 and it must be a good story as it has never been out of print in 155 years. Director Melissa Popely says “Alice is huge fun for the whole family! A classic story with a great comedic script and lovable characters. Audiences will be singing and dancing in their seats.”
And when you come to Alice check out the young stage crew and technicians. The skills they demonstrate are testament to Playhouse Theatre Inc.’s commitment to youth theatre, with a very active off-stage training programme. The theatre is hoping to offer further opportunities for West Auckland youth in 2021.
