“Disney's Alice in Wonderland Jr.” is a stage adaptation of the 1951 film “Alice in Wonderland” created for school and community theater productions.
When young Alice discovers herself in a strange world where everything seems upside down, she must find her way home and find herself along the way. As she travels through Wonderland, she encounters all the iconic characters that audiences have come to love, including the ever-tardy White Rabbit, the grinning Cheshire Cat, a cool Caterpillar, the wacky Mad Hatter, and the hot-tempered Queen of Hearts.
"Alice in Wonderland Jr." features Disney favorites such as “The Golden Afternoon,” “The Unbirthday Song” and “Painting the Roses Red,” along with brand-new songs, including music from the 2010 live-action film.
Whether this is your first experience with Alice or your hundredth, you’ll fall in love again with this timeless story of adventure, imagination, and pure fun!
This program is partially supported by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council, a state agency.
