ALICE IN WONDERLAND TUMBLES INTO ATHENS WITH GREAT FUN!

ROSE OF ATHENS THEATRE presents…Alice in Wonderland - ONLY 4 PUBLIC PERFORMANCES!

Performance dates are February 25-March 5, 2016

Lewis Carroll’s beloved story, Alice in Wonderland thrills the young and the young-at-heart audiences alike, directed by Danielle Bailey Miller with live, original music from nationally renowned artist, Marty Winkler, and the energetic performances of Rose of Athens Theatre Professionals, Apprentice youth company and community newcomers!

Rose of Athens Theatre is continuing their tenth anniversary season with the family classic, Alice in Wonderland. The stage version, adapted by Ron Anderson of the Springer Opera House in Columbus, GA, is based on Lewis Carroll’s famous novel Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. Our story follows the journey of a little girl named Alice who stumbles or rather drops into the magical world of Wonderland. There, Alice meets an array of whimsical characters that challenge and inspire her inner spirit. It is a tale of courage, self-discovery, and imagination. Danielle Bailey Miller, Artistic Director, is thrilled about the production, “Even if you’ve seen the story a dozen times, it is worth it to see it a dozen and one times. Anderson’s script is fast paced and humorous, the music is beautiful, and the set and costumes are a feast for the eyes. We’re working with professionals, community members and a lot of youth to bring this story to life. It is an evening at the theatre that the entire family can enjoy!”

Alice in Wonderland will present school performances, as well as public performances. School shows are February 25-26 & March 2-4 at 9:30AM & 11:30AM and will be treated to a “talk back” with the cast and crew. Rose of Athens Theatre also offers educational workshops about the production to any school within traveling distance. Public performances are February 26, 27 and March 4, 5 at 7:00PM.
