PresentsJuly 29th - Aug 7th Thurs - Sun @ 7:00 pm

Volunteer Park | lawn north of the museum

Join Alice on her journey down the pandemic rabbit hole into a topsy turvy world where

rules keep changing and time is fluid and power equals corruption.

T22 brings a contemporary take on the familiar story that combines a dynamite cast with

the iconic characters as well as song, dance, puppetry and whimsical wordplay in an

imaginative and magical production with something for everyone.
