Written by Richard Alger, Directed and choreographed by Tina Kronis

This new work is inspired by Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass and set in a present-day Hollywood TV and film studio. As Alice tries to make her dreams come true, she falls into the cruel court of the entertainment industry, where everyone is subject to the wayward whims of the studio executive, and the backlot becomes an enchanted scene of accidental surrealism. Created, rehearsed, and performed live and entirely online.
