LifeHouse Theater Presents the World Premiere Family Musical "Alice in Wonderland"

LifeHouse Theater is proud to present the new original musical adaptation of “Alice In Wonderland.” Guests will be whisked away to the curious world of Wonderland where things are not always what they seem. All the favorite madcap characters are here, but Alice discovers truth amidst the nonsense. This new musical event is fun for all ages. Performances began Saturday, Feb. 13 and will continue on weekends through March 20. Performances are Fridays at 7:30 p.m., Saturdays at 2:15 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2:15 p.m. In addition to the weekend performances, there will be a special weekday performance on Thursday, March 17 at 7:30 p.m. The 7:30 p.m. performance on Friday, Feb. 26 will also feature an interpreted presentation for the deaf. “Alice In Wonderland” is written and directed by Jeffrey A. DeWitt with music and lyrics by LifeHouse Theater founder and president Wayne R. Scott. Joining DeWitt on the production staff is assistant director J. Wiley, choreographer Sanlyn Carter, vocal director Amy Muthersbaugh and make-up designer Katie Masiewicz. Costume design is by Cristy Conrad-Wiley and set design is by Tim Mahoney. “We are thrilled to at last be bringing this classic story to the LifeHouse stage,” said Scott. “It’s been a joy bringing this story back to its origins in the Lewis Carroll books and making it an experience the entire family can enjoy together. I guarantee guests will laugh out loud at the zany antics of these Wonderland characters, and yet, still find a purpose for Alice’s adventure.” “Alice In Wonderland” features Sydney Schultis as Alice, Sanlyn Carter as the Cheshire Cat, Virginia Watterson as the Queen of Hearts, Andrew Lizotte as the Mad Hatter, Garrett Goodell as the March Hare and Jacob Michel as the White Rabbit.
