DPAC Presents Fall Play: Alice in Wonderland

By Dallastown Performing Arts Club October 16, 2024

 

Dallastown Performing Arts Club is excited to bring the family fun and surreal silliness of Alice in Wonderland to the DAHS stage this autumn. In this adaptation by Anne Coulter Martens, as the curtain rises, Alice slides into view at the end of her long fall down the rabbit-hole. It is a far more delightful place for the audience than for Alice, who is trying desperately to get back home with (or without) help from a familiar cast of characters, including the White Rabbit, Caterpillar, Mad Hatter, March Hare, Dormouse, & Tweedles, among others. Will Alice find her way back home in time for her birthday party? Will she escape the Queen of Hearts with her head intact? Come find out in this all-age-appropriate play! Run time is approximately 90 minutes with a 15-minute intermission.


Performances are November 22nd at 7:00 PM, November 23rd at 2:00 PM and 7:00 PM, and November 24th at 2:00 PM.

Tickets are  Adult: $10.00, Senior Citizen (65+) and Student (13-22): $7.00, Child (12 & under): $5.00, held infants: free and are available online at www.dahsdpac.booktix.com or at the door.

Kona Ice will be in the circle outside the main doors, so come early for a cool treat before the show!
