Alice in Wonderland: A Musical Panto

“Jubilant fun for all generation. Jennifer Childs’ script and Alex Bechtel’s music and lyrics reach just the right balance of silliness and irreverence, pop-culture references, and moments of real emotional depth.” - Broad Street Review

Commissioned and produced by People’s Light & Theatre Company in Malvern, PA. Alice in Wonderland: A Musical Panto re-imagines Lewis Carrol’s classic story in the style of a British Pantomime.

On her first day of Middle School, Alice Liddel stumbles through a mysterious book in the library to find herself in a magical land where all the people in her life are represented by magical creatures. Follow her journey as she strives to get back home and out of “the middle of everything,” all the while learning a valuable lesson about how being in the middle of it all isn’t always a bad thing.
