Presented for the very first time in the United States, this is a wonderful version of Alice In Wonderland!
Buckle up, buttercup, for a tumble down the rabbit hole into a world wilder than a tea party on a sugar rush! Alice, our pint-sized heroine, ditches boredom and follows a white rabbit with a serious case of the zoomies, landing ker-plop in Wonderland. This Wonderland welcomes everyone with open arms – from tiny tots to grown-up goofballs, it’s a show for the whole family! Alice’s Wonderland is presented by MacBeth & Cheese in Partnership with the Firehouse Cultural Center.  Saturday, May 18, 7:30 pm, Center Stage at the Firehouse.
