Alice @ Wonderland - TYTE


Alice @ Wonderland is produced by special arrangement with
Pioneer Drama Service, Inc., Englewood, CO


A totally cool modern spin. This contemporary piece shows off Alice and the supporting characters in a fun way. Totally refreshing. Oh, and do not say the "W" word, or by ruling of the queen you must dance. (That part in itself was very cool. Well done!)

All of your favorite characters are here. Alice, the White Rabbit, the Queen of Hearts, Mad Hatter. It is very nice to see each youth ensemble member give it their directed touch, letting go of self and giving to the audience. Each time I see them, they get better.

As I go the photos, and reflect on my experience from this play, I cannot help but remember Jefferson Airplane's White Rabbit. Specifically, the lyric "Go ask Alice When she's ten feet tall". In fact, for adults, I would recommend this song as a prequel to seeing it.

I have placed the cast names at the end of the blog. Here are the photos I took.
























Cannot get enough. Loved it when they used the "W" word . . .






























There goes the "W" again . . .






























































And Alice used the "W" word to get herself out of trouble . . .









Ah, finally a dial tone. Hello . . .




Here are some photographs from before the performance . . . you have to stash all of them somewhere away from the public . . .
