Shelton Kiwanis Club & Foundation is proud to host Missoula Children's Theatre for two community performances of "Alice in Wonderland" starring local students. This original adaptation is based on Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass with music by David W. Simmons and lyrics by Lewis Carroll, William Shakespeare and David W. Simmons
Two public performances are scheduled for Saturday, March 16 at 3:00 and 7:00 PM in the Shelton High School Performing Arts Center. Tickets are $5 each and will be available at the door.
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!”
The Shelton Kiwanis Foundation believes that participating in the performing arts hones important characteristics such as creativity, social skills, goal achievement, communication skills and self-esteem. For more information visit www.sheltonkiwanis.weebly.com.
