Upstage Youth Theatre will present a musical reimagining of “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland,” Nov. 5-7 at the Grand Lake Community House.
“Alice by Heart” is set during World War II and follows Alice Spencer and a group of evacuees sheltering in a London Underground station. Seeking refuge from the uncertainty of war, Alice escapes into the familiar world of Wonderland, where fantasy and reality begin to collide.
The production stars sophomores Kate Huber as Alice and Henry Piller as Alfred and the White Rabbit, alongside senior Maija Relyea as Tabatha and the Cheshire Cat. The cast includes students ranging from fifth grade through high school.
Forrest Cramer leads the production crew, with additional mentorship provided by theater professionals specializing in choreography, vocal coaching, music and lighting.
Performances begin at 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 5, through Saturday, Nov. 7. Doors open at 6:15 p.m. each evening.
Tickets are available at the door for $10 for adults and $5 for youth. Admission is free for senior citizens.
