Teen Theater presents Alice @ Wonderland
By Jonathan Yukich
What would happen if a 21st century Alice collided with Lewis Carroll’s legendary Wonderland? This modern retelling of the children’s classic has the characters you know and love, including the Mad Hatter, the White Rabbit and the Queen of Hearts. The story is laid out in traditional style, except that Alice is distinctly contemporary, complete with cell phone in hand. This sharply told, crisply paced adaptation has been praised for its humor, modern style, and appeals to everyone.
