Everyone knows the story of Lewis Carroll’s famous fantasy, “Alice and Wonderland”: Alice falls down a rabbit hole into a crazy world filled with strange and peculiar creatures. Emerson-Smith Media will bring this favorite tale to life at the Hurricane Arts Center in Hurricane starting Monday, June 20, and whether you’ve read the book or watched the many versions on stage or screen, you’ve never seen a production of “Alice in Wonderland” as fun and nutty as this.
Starring Haylee Ford as the befuddled Alice, the production also features Will Hobson as the crazed Mad Hatter, Alek Jordon as the even crazier March Hare, and the incredible talents of Britnee Hobson as the totally psychotic Queen of Hearts.
“Alice in Wonderland” runs July 20 through Aug. 1, with no shows on July 24 and 25 or on Sundays. Shows start at 7 p.m. nightly with 3 p.m. matinees on Saturdays.
“Alice in Wonderland” is also the opening show for the new Summer Stock theater program, “A Fantasy Summer,” held at the Hurricane Arts Center and featuring three outstanding productions before the end of August. These shows include “The Holy Grail” and “The Little Prince.” Based on Monty Python’s Flying Circus’s iconic film, “The Holy Grail” will run Aug. 6 through Aug. 15. “The Little Prince” will run Aug. 20 through Aug. 29.
Opening night for “Alice in Wonderland” will also feature an aftershow audience open house to introduce the Summer Stock program to the community, as well as new theater and arts programs that are coming to Hurricane.
The Hurricane Arts Center is located at 92 S. 100 W. in Hurricane. Adult ticket prices are $9, student and senior tickets are $7, and children’s tickets are $6. Family passes are $35. To order, please visit http://kobura.wix.com/ emersonsmithmedia#!current- production/cb3i.
