ALICE IN WONDERLAND

A NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR

Dear Friends of CHS Theatre, the adaptation of Alice in Wonderland you are about to enjoy was created in the summer of 2011 to be performed in Locust Street Park. It weaves the characters from both Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass into a single narrative centered on Alice’s quest to become Queen. The characters Alice encounters on her journey were originally played by community members of all ages and from all walks of life who shared at least one thing in common – a love of theatre and a sense of play and joy. True to that spirit, our current production brings together students from every school in the district. It has been a whirl-wind journey, at times seemingly as contrary as Alice’s own experiences, but ultimately, as the Gryphon says, “What Fun!!” I hope it brings you joy.
