ALICE IN WONDERLAND Jr. 2018
Travel down the rabbit hole and join Alice, one of literature’s most beloved heroines, in her madcap adventures. Featuring updated songs from Disney’s thrilling animated motion picture, Disney’s Alice in Wonderland Jr. is a fast-paced take on the classic tale. The ever-curious Alice’s journey begins innocently enough as she chases the White Rabbit. Her adventures become increasingly more strange as she races the Dodo bird, gets tied up with Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, raps with the bubble-blowing Caterpillar and beats the Queen of Hearts at her own game!

Director’s Note from Candice Woloshyn
Thank you for joining us for our production of Alice in Wonderland. It has been such a treat to bring Lewis Carroll’s characters to life as we all jumped down the rabbit hole together. A huge thank you to Carrie and Zoe for the heart and passion they put into not just teaching the music and choreography, but in mentoring and uplifting the children in our cast. It has truly been an honour to work with you both.
A show of this size couldn’t come together without a lot of extra hands; from our producers, to our sets and props team, wardrobe and our student volunteers. Thank you!
Most important of all for me is the children who make up our cast. For the last four weeks we have gathered together and put our hearts into building this show. More than once I have said, “We want to be entertaining to more than just our own mom and dad. Moms and dads think we’re awesome no matter what. We want the strangers in the audience to follow our story and be entertained by our performances.” If you find yourself smiling tonight, or even laughing out loud, then we have succeeded. Enjoy your tour of Wonderland!
