Area Children Perform Alice in Wonderland

Posted

HUNTINGDON (June 19) — Local children performed in the Missoula Children’s Theatre production of Alice in Wonderland at the Dixie Carter Performing Arts Center on Saturday, June 19.

The production is an original adaptation based on Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. The story begins with Alice and her older sister, Margaret reading together. Margaret becomes frustrated as Alice is curious about absolutely everything. Suddenly, a White Rabbit appears from nowhere. Alice follows the rabbit and in the course of her adventures, Alice meets a band of Flowers, the King and Queen of Hearts, a giant Caterpillar, the Cheshire Cat, a group of singing Lobsters, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, the March Hare, the Mad Hatter, and Humpty Dumpty and many more! In the end, the answers she seeks are unimportant. As the White Rabbit explains, “Nonsense is fun!”


Parents and other patrons watched as the children performed during two afternoon performances in the Hal Holbrook Theatre.
