STAY CURIOUS
Journey ‘down the rabbit hole,’ and meet ‘the mind behind Wonderland’ in this new musical biography about the extraordinary life of beloved children’s author, Lewis Carroll. From his childhood in Yorkshire to his eventual friendship with the young girl who would become ‘Alice,’ Carroll’s conservative Victorian upbringing and keen knack for storytelling are paralleled through the famous characters which audiences have come to love. Complete with a large cast of local performers and a professional orchestra, get ready to peer through this theatrical ‘looking glass,’ and catch a glimpse at the kooky and amusing life of one of history’s most misunderstood geniuses.
DIRECTED BY Piper J. Distel and Lori Robinson Distel
MUSICAL DIRECTION BY Daniel Warren
CHOREOGRAPHY BY Grace Mason Soucie

Instead of a fixed price, patrons can contribute any amount they feel is appropriate, with a suggested minimum of $10. This model makes theatre more accessible to a wider audience while still encouraging financial support for the production. PWYC tickets can be purchased in advanced via our online box office, or at the door prior to the performance. Cash, credit and E-Transfer are accepted.
