WONDERLAND Takes Cumberland County Playhouse Audiences Down the Rabbit Hole With Alice thru 4/28

Cumberland County Playhouse audiences can journey with Alice down the rabbit hole and through the looking glass, into a magical land in The Playhouse's production of Wonderland, a vivid show of song, dance, and theatre, running April 26-28.

Audiences can follow Alice through her many adventures: some old, some new, but all fun. All your favorite characters will be on stage to charm and delight both the young and the young at heart! The Cumberland County Playhouse Departments of Education and Dance will showcase performers from the very young to adults.

With extraordinary backdrops, brightly colored costumes, original choreography, fabulous songs, and edgy theatrical dialogue, you won't want to miss this wonderfully modern twist on Lewis Carroll's timeless classic.

The Playhouse production of Wonderland is directed by Jennifer Austin, conceived by Austin, Angela Robbins and Weslie Webster, and features choreography by Ashley Austin and Sarah Gibson, with additional choreography and staging by other Playhouse faculty and students.  

Tickets may be purchased online at www.ccplayhouse.com or by calling (931) 484-5000.
