WEST BRATTLEBORO — New England Youth Theatre's Theatre Adventure Wednesday Troupe will present Alice in Wonderland on May 19 and 20, at 10:30 a.m., at the West Village Meeting House, 29 South St.
Alice's adventures in the nonsensical topsy-turvy Wonderland are a smorgasbord of theatrical surprises. An “Alice-Dance” will spiral the audience into suspending all preconceived notions about “up is right and right is down,” according to a news release.
English author Lewis Carroll wrote “Alice's Adventures in Wonderland” in 1865. More than 150 years later, Alice's adventures with an assortment of zany characters still spark our own imaginations and tickle our literary senses. Throughout her encounters, Alice remarks over and over that things are getting “curiouser and curiouser.”
And certainly life does become more and more curious when Alice meets the ever-smiling and disappearing Cheshire Cat, as well as the Mad Hatter, who seems ever-lost in time while feasting more on words than tea and crumpets. The Theatre Adventure Wednesday Troupe presents an original adaptation of Lewis Carroll's tale that inspires imaginative thinking, creative problem solving, and a delight in the unexpected.
