New for 2024! Have you ever wanted to travel down a rabbit hole, or take part in a mad tea party? Join us this summer and you'll get your chance! Brought to by the Creative Theatre team, our version of "Alice in Wonderland" is based loosely on the Lewis Carroll stories and presented in the style of absurd theatre. Alice finds herself falling down the rabbit hole, and from there tries desperately to get back home. In our production we have multiple Alices (because it is wonderland Alice changes shape constantly), plenty of mad tea party guests (the hatter, the hare, dormouse, etc), and of course her royal highness the queen of hearts. We follow an outline version of the books...this is not based on the movie. But like the Creative Theatre programs, the students add their own voice to this piece. The thing to remember is that everyone in wonderland is quite mad, and quite funny!! Parents, family, and friends please join us for a performance of their original work on the Friday of camp at 1:30 pm! Please provide a lunch, snack and drink daily.
