From the Tony® and Grammy® award-winning creators of Spring Awakening, Steven Sater and Duncan Sheik, and co-written by Jessie Nelson (Waitress), Alice by Heart is a touching musical inspired by Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.

In the rubble of the London Blitz of World War II, Alice Spencer’s budding teen life is turned upside down, and she and her dear friend Alfred are forced to take shelter in an underground tube station. When the ailing Alfred is quarantined, Alice encourages him to escape with her into their cherished book and journey down the rabbit hole to Wonderland.

As they travel through the tale, Alice by Heart explores the poignancy of first love, coming to terms with loss, and finding the courage to move forward. This world premiere musical encourages us all to celebrate the transformational power of the imagination, even in the harshest of times.

During this production class, students will be actively engaged in learning character development, acting skills, dance techniques, and will receive vocal instruction.

REHEARSALS:

Attending rehearsals is essential to the theatre process. We ask that each student turn in a conflict calendar prior to casting. We know that sometimes things can come up like unforeseen illness or emergencies, so we ask that families notify the directors if you must miss rehearsal. More than two unexcused absences, or students who neglect to regularly attend rehearsals may lead to reduced stage time or role reassignment.  

TECH WEEK/PERFORMANCES: Students must be available and may not miss tech week and performances (unless approved by the directors) as these dates are required. Please note that fees are non-refundable if you withdraw or are dismissed from the production.
