The story is centered around Alice (Jade Shumate) as she explores the wonderful world of the White Rabbit (Hannah Hightower) who leads her into the dark tunnel on her way to Wonderland.
There Alice meets Tweedle Dee (Justin Gilbert) and Tweedle Dum (Turner Price) who teach her some manners.
Alice also meets The Mad Hatter (Kylie Eicholtz), who can throw a big ‘Unbirthday’ party, the Queen of Hearts (Dave Hudgins), the mean bully in the story, and the King of Hearts (Kya Haywood), the forgotten ruler of Wonderland.
Alice meets other important characters such as Matilda, Alice’s sister and the March Hare (Rebecca Friar), the Doorknob and the Dodo Bird, and the Captain of the Queen’s Navy (Lyndsey Webb).
Her adventures keep Alice very busy growing from small Alice (Morgan Lew) to Tall Alice (Sarah Jordan).
The Caterpillar (Madison Busby) is one cooooool character that convinces Alice to just be herself.
The Cheshire Cats (Kimberly Mizell, Sarah Brown, and Kaylee Neighbors) serve as the Narrators of the story.
