Terrill Middle School to Present 'Alice In Wonderland'

SCOTCH PLAINS, NJ — The Terrill Middle School Drama Department will perform in a new production of Brainerd Duffield’s Broadway version of “Alice in Wonderland,” presented by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc.

Audiences of all ages will enjoy Lewis Carroll’s classic tale of a little girl named Alice and her unexpected journey through a dizzying and magical land.

Directed by Kale Thompson and Amanda Salcedo, who previously produced “The Diary of Anne Frank” and “Little Women,” the play features 14 of Terrill’s graduating drama students in the three-act production.

"Reimagining a classic is often a tricky task,” says Thompson. “As an artist, you must marry the original intent and context with a fresh and accessible landscape. These students have blossomed as they have developed their characters and taken on their roles within the production in order to make this production a success."

Production dates are Friday, Nov. 18 at 7 p.m., and Saturday, Nov. 19 at 2 and 7 p.m.

Concessions will be available, and there will be one 15-minute intermission.

Tickets for this event can be purchased at tmsalice.brownpapertickets.com or at the door. Students and seniors: $8, adults: $10.
