Synopsis
When Alice doesn't receive the doll she desperately wants for Christmas, she wishes herself to the one place she believes will be filled with holiday cheer: Wonderland...only to discover her favorite holiday has been banned by the Queen of Hearts. It's up to Alice to save the day once more and teach her fantastical companions a thing or two about the joy of giving to others—but she'll first have to grow up a little along the way. Featuring all your favorite characters from Lewis Carroll's masterwork, this funny, fast-paced and festive adaptation puts a fresh spin on the tale we all know and love.
"This delightful one-act combined the best parts of the Lewis Carroll classic with the atmosphere and spirit of the holiday season. Even in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, our two performances of this play were sold-out delights and Alice's Christmas in Wonderland has been one of our most successful offerings this season." - James R. Winter, Artistic Director of the Columbia Theatre for the Performing Arts
