Alice in Wonderland Workshop Grace Arts Live:
The 2026 Storybook Theatre production, Alice in Wonderland, Jr., is based on Lewis Carroll’s beloved and whimsical stories and the classic Disney animated film. Alice falls down the rabbit hole and navigates the curious world of Wonderland on a journey of self-discovery while meeting a time-obsessed White Rabbit, the twinning Tweedles, an ever-grinning Cheshire Cat, a wacky Mad Hatter, and the tyrannical Queen of Hearts, among others. The show features song favorites: The Golden Afternoon, The Unbirthday Song, and Painting the Roses Red. Do not miss this timeless musical where nonsense reigns and imagination knows no bounds.
This show features a cast of local children and will play with three different workshop casts for one weekend in June and two weekends in July. June 26-28, July 10-12, July 24-26 Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. For tickets visit graceartslive.com
