"Alice in Wonderland" by Alice Gerstenberg and Lewis Carroll is a dramatic adaptation of the classic stories "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking Glass," written in the early 20th century. Follow Alice as she falls through a rabbit hole into Wonderland, where she encounters various fantastical creatures like the White Rabbit, the Mad Hatter, and the Queen of Hearts. Join Penny Dreadful Players as Alice grapples with changes in her size, illogical conversations, and nonsensical games like croquet with live flamingos and hedgehogs. Directed by Dakota Gordon, Kyara Wetler & Isaiah Botswick
