Northeast State Theatre stages Alice in Wonderland April 14-16

Alice. The White Rabbit. The Cheshire Cat. The Queen of Hearts. The characters you know bemuse and amaze on stage when Northeast State Community College’s Department of Theatre presents the stage production of Alice in Wonderland this spring.

Performances are LIVE and happening on the Wellmont Regional Center for the Performing Arts Theatre stage at the Blountville campus next to Tri-Cities Airport.

Adapted by Madge Miller, Lewis Carroll’s masterful story comes to life with Alice and her sister Margaret enjoying a lazy afternoon in the meadow. Alice spots a curious visitor who catches her attention; a White Rabbit scurrying along looking for his white gloves. Down the rabbit hole Alice goes to the magical realm of Wonderland!

Alice receives fair warning from the White Rabbit to take good care of the Queen’s tarts, which are to be served shortly at the croquet match. While Alice’s back is turned, the tarts are stolen. Alice, realizing that the White Rabbit will lose his head if the tarts are not discovered in time, goes in search of the thief. Her quest leads her through a maze of incredible and suspenseful adventures. Will she be too late to save the White Rabbit? Will the real thief be discovered in time?

Performances are April 14, 15, and 16 at 7:30 p.m., with a matinee performance scheduled April 16 at 2:00 p.m. Tickets are $10 general admission, and $8 for groups of 10 or more, and $5 for Northeast State students. The play is being directed by Edward Breese.

The play is presented through special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc. In compliance with the American Disabilities Act, Northeast State honors requests for reasonable accommodations made by individuals with disabilities.
