Gravette High School Presents: Aliceโ€™s Adventures in Wonderland

[Gravette, Arkansas] โ€” โ€œBe what you seem to be.โ€ Lewis Carrollโ€™s Aliceโ€™s Adventures in Wonderland has been told and retold countless times throughout historyโ€”in books, live-action movies, animated films, and more. Now, the Gravette High School Theatre Department is bringing this beloved story to life in a way youโ€™ve never seen before.

โ€œWeโ€™re moving this production of Alice in Wonderland from the stage into the audience, involving not only the cast but the audience as well,โ€ says Ian Galloway, the director.

With a dynamic blend of projections, lights, sound, and improvisation, this production will transport the audience directly into Wonderland, immersing them in the madness of Aliceโ€™s journey from the moment they step into the building. The show will feature a fresh musical scoreโ€”reimagined by Ian Gallowayโ€”and an original song written by one of GHS Theatreโ€™s very own.

โ€œThe music is unlike anything weโ€™ve done in our PAC before. Itโ€™s filled with rich involvement from the cast and director. I feel like weโ€™ve created a show thatโ€™s not only visually stunning but sonically captivating,โ€ says Kaiden Walls, who plays the King of Hearts.

Embrace the weirdness of Wonderland and experience it all as if you were Alice herself. This adaptation explores not only Aliceโ€™s descent into madness but also her journey toward finding peace within it.

โ€œItโ€™s an immersive show about what it means to be human,โ€ says Jerri Notestine, who plays the Queen of Hearts.
