Join the madcap adventures of Alice (Paige Noel Brown, Madison Smith, Olivia Smith) as she chases the White Rabbit (Emily Urbanski) down a rabbit hole and into one nonsensical situation after another in Wonderland!  Along her journey, she races the Dodo Bird (Kaitlin Rutherford), gets tied up with Tweedle Dee (Lauren Raker) and Tweedle Dum (Delaney Mullins), shares a grin with the Cheshire Cat (Kelsie Clayton, Ariel Urban, and Ruthie Weller-Passman), raps with the bubble-blowing Caterpillar (Emma Weber), attends an un-birthday party with the Mad Hatter (Matthew Conwell) and March Hare (Kara Porzuczek), and beats the Queen of Hearts (Eileen Porzuczek) at her own game!  Rounding out the cast is Alex Arthur, Payton Bowling, Blake Brown, Cameron Brown, Lina Buech, Sunnie Clark, Erin Connell, Hannah Haydock, Shelby Mathias, Chloe Patton, Morgan Ray, and Alexis Rouse.

The fast-paced musical is based on the 1951 Disney film Alice in Wonderland and the novels Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll.
