Text Box: Missoula Children's Theatre Presents: Alice in Wonderland Music by David W. Simmons Lyrics by Lewis Carroll, William Shakespeare and David w. Simmons Staging by Don Kukla The Missoula Children’s Theatre presents ALICE IN WONDERLAND, 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. After a quick and nonsensical conversation, Alice follows the rabbit to a strange and wonderful place. In the course of her adventures, Alice meets a Band of Flowers, the King and Queen of Hearts, the Knave and the rest of the suit of Cards, a giant Caterpillar, a Fish, a Frog, the Duchess, the Cook, the Cheshire Cat, the Gryphon, the Mock Turtle, a group of singing Lobsters, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, the March Hare, the Mad Hatter, the Dormouse and Humpty Dumpty. Through it all, Alice grows “curiouser and curiouser” as to where she is and even who she is. In the end, the answers she seeks are unimportant. Wonderland is all nonsense, anyway. As the White Rabbit explains, “Nonsense is fun!” An audition will be held for Missoula Children’s Theatre’s production of Alice in Wonderland on July 21st in the Redmond High School Auditorium from 10:00 AM-12:00 PM. Most students will rehearse four hours each day, Monday-Friday. Performance is scheduled for Saturday, July 26, 2008 at 3:00 PM and 7:00 PM. For further information, please contact RAPRD at 548-7275.
