Curiouser and Curiouser! Alice in Wonderland Comes to Chicago

Enter the whimsical world of Alice in Wonderland at Metropolis Performing Arts Centre, October 13 – 21, 2009.

All the characters from the beloved tale will be there: the kooky Caterpillar, the grumpy flowers and of course that White Rabbit who’s running rather late. Join Alice as she has tea with the Mad Hatter, gets crazy advice from the Cheshire Cat and plays croquet with the Queen of Hearts. It’s a musical, magical world of nonsense that’s sure to put a smile on your face.

Performances of Alice in Wonderland, a Chicago Kids Company production, will run October 13 – 16 at 9:45 a.m. and 11:30 a.m., October 17 at 11 a.m., and October 19 – 21 at 9:45 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. Tickets are $9.50 for students under 12 and $12 for adults. Suggested for grades K – 3.

Alice in Wonderland is part of Metropolis’ Stories in Action! series – educational productions designed to feed the minds and imaginations of young audiences and bring families together through the performing arts.
