When Alice chases the White Rabbit down a rabbit hole, she tumbles into a curious world with a zany cast of characters including the Mad Hatter, a grinning Cheshire Cat, a mischievous Caterpillar, and the imperious Queen of Hearts. Catherine Bush’s adaptation of Lewis Carroll’s timeless classic celebrates the wonder of imagination and promises to take you on a colorful adventure for your whole family! The production features original music by Dax Dupuy.
