F
“Through the Looking-Glass,” the show at TVMS is specifically designed for young actors ages 11 to 17. “The script is quick and funny and includes many of the classic Wonderland characters that the students are already familiar with,” stated director Sarah Weaver. “Plus, the show is quite family-friendly; we are hoping to see a lot of families and middleschoolers in the audience supporting their children and peers.” She noted that some students
were already familiar with “Alice in Wonderland” through either the book or the Disney movie. “(They) have enjoyed seeing familiar characters and discovering niche moments in the script that were touched upon in the original storyline,” said Weaver. “The opening ensemble number, ‘Jabberwocky,’ is based heavily on the famous poem of the same name, and the cast was instantly hooked by twisting the familiar iambic pentameter into a rap beat.”
