The production team was assisted by St. Lawrence County Arts Council and the New York State Council on the Arts with a grant to fund resident artist Bill Newman.

The story begins in the home of a young girl named Alice (Molly Margaret) and her uncle Lewis Carrol (Alexander Scriminger).

Alice soon falls asleep and wakes up to voices telling her to come through her mirror.

She is shocked to find that she can pass through and ends up in Wonderland, where she is greeted by the Red Queen (Abby Kerrigan).

Along her way Alice meets the bumbling White Rabbit (Sierra Ashlaw) and the busy White Queen (Abby Metcalf) who seems to have a very strange sense of how time and memory works.

Alice continues on her journey and meets Humpty Dumpty (Sam Moses), a strange man atop a wall, and the Gryphon (Naomi Crowell) and the Mock Turtle (Gabe Schmid-Doyle) who reside in a large soup bowl.

Alice then ends up in a garden, where she discovers a tea party held by the strange Mad Hatter (Lizzie Davis), the March Hare (Elyse Tavernier), and the Dormouse (Chloe O’Shea).

Tweedle Dee (Jade Stevenson) & Tweedle Dum (Emma Gainey) entertain Alice with their poem and The Duchess (Lianna Pront) and her servant The Frog (Alexander Scriminger) add to the confusion of poor little Alice.

Add in the ever-smiling Cheshire Cat (Katie Dollinger) and you have a perfect night of quality family entertainment.
