Wonderland! Wonderland!
The Musical Misadventures of a Girl Named Alice
Book adapted by James DeVita
Music and lyrics by Bill Francoeur 
Directed by Engela Edwards 
Feb. 5 & 6, 2010 at 2 p.m.
Dougherty Arts Theater 1110 Barton Springs Rd.

Wonderland!, an unabashedly silly adaptation of Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass, with hip-hopping music.  It is an upbeat coming-of-age story that audiences of all ages will adore! You'll recognize some of your favorite familiar characters of Alice's Wonderland along with meeting dozens of new ones: a baseball team, a gospel group called The Responsibilities, a train conductor, star-struck tourists, knights, and much more. An eclectic mix of music that ranges from gypsy swing to doo-wop to bluegrass.  Enjoy toe-tapping musical renditions of “Jabberwocky” and “The Walrus and the Carpenter” as well as other great numbers such as “Anything’s Possible,” “Step by Step” and the hysterical “I was a Good Egg But Then I Done Went Bad,” sung by Humpty Dumpty and the Dixie Chickens! 
Tickets $5 general admission - $10 VIP reserved seating
Produced by special arrangements with Pioneer Drama Inc., Englewood, Colorado.

Tickets $5 general admission - $10 VIP reserved seating
A play for people who enjoy absurdist humor.  Enter the bizarre world of U. Burnem, "the finest educational institution in the world." Here, tolerance and political correctness are taken to extremes, and students find conformity is not merely encouraged, but required.
