“Alice in Wonderland is such a fun, whimsical story to tell and a personal favorite to so many,” said show director Faith Morrison. “The production team is as excited to share their love of ‘Alice’ with the cast as the cast is to have the chance to bring it to life on stage.”
The production of “Alice in Wonderland Jr.” features fourth- through eighth-graders from Sterling, Rock Falls, Dixon, Polo, and Tampico. A total of 46 students will be performing under the direction of Morrison, along with music director Mardi Huffstutler and assistant directors Dawn Arndt and Ashley Aurand.
From MTI Shows: When young Alice finds 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 of 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.
