Ever dreamed of a land full of wonder, where reality is thrown out the window and everything becomes crazy? Well, hop down a rabbit hole into the fascinating world of Alice At Wonderland.

This play is a modern adaptation of the classic Alice in Wonderland. In this version, Alice has a cell phone and wanders the strange world “looking for a Wi-Fi signal and a place to plug it in,” describes Shanna Jordan, the Queen of Hearts.

This adaptation is very “funny and heartwarming — everyone should see it,” stated Shiloh Burton, who plays Alice.

The cast and crew are wonderful; they are “very entertaining. And there’s always something going on backstage… or on stage,” says Kadence Bernal, who plays the mischievous Cheshire Cat.

Performances are May 14–17, with shows at 7 p.m. on May 14, 15, and 16. There’s also a 2 p.m. show on May 17 and a special Mad Hatter Tea Party at 5 p.m. on May 16 which has since sold out.

Tickets for the shows and tea party are available online at Rise Up Arts Alliance Tickets and at the door. Regular tickets are $20, with discounted prices of $18 for seniors and military members and $15 for students.

The show is at 632 W. Fifth Ave. in Lancaster, with performances that promise a chaotic time — “and who doesn’t love chaos?” asks Nathan Hoke, the King of Hearts.

“The whole thing’s like an acid trip. Humpty Dumpty looks like he eats children,” describes Eli Rife, who plays the Mad Hatter.

In conclusion, Rise Up Arts Alliance invites you to follow a white rabbit into the world of Alice At Wonderland.
