STARS Presents Alice in Wonderland Jun 25 & 26

The Soo Theatre’s STARS musical theatre summer students, ranging in age from elementary through high school, have been working hard with STARS directors and costumers for the past two weeks in preparation for a wonderful musical adaptation of Alice in Wonderland. Show poster

The show, whose characters are all students of the musical theatre camp, begins with Alice sitting with her sister in the park, when she sees a white rabbit hurry down his hole. She is curious about where the rabbit is going and she follows him into the dark tunnel. Alice, then, finds herself in Wonderland! There, she finds out what it is like to grow and shrink very quickly and along the way she encounters a caucus race, jabbering twins, a rude patch of flowers, a bubble-blowing caterpillar, the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter’s tea party, an angry Queen of Hearts, and a trial in which Alice is afraid she might lose her head!

Performances will be held Friday, June 25th at 7:00 p.m. and Saturday, June 26th at 2:00 p.m. Admission is $5.00 at the door. Don’t miss the chance to watch some very talented musical students and support the efforts of Soo Theatre Project, Inc..
