Single tickets are only $8.
"Alice in Wonderland" is the last of three productions in the CPAS 2011-2012 season.
Audiences will enjoy this exciting, full scale musical production from American Family Theater featuring colorful sets, inventive costumes, creative staging and iconic characters like the Mad Hatter, Tweedledum and Tweedledee, the White Rabbit, and of course, Alice herself.
Leslie Bennett of the N. Y. Times says this about American Family Theater productions:
"Their shows burst with energy, song, and special effects. Again and again, American Family Theater proves how strong it is in creating original contemporary theater. Their engaging productions wonderfully command the attention of young audiences and their spirit is contagious."
Season tickets for next year's 2012-2013 season will go on sale in late March. The lineup of new shows includes "Sleeping Beauty," scheduled for Oct. 14, 2012, "ImaginOcean," to be performed on Feb. 17, 2013 and "Pinkalicious," scheduled for April 21. 2013."
2011-2012 Season tickets are $25 and $40 for all three shows. The $40 VIP level includes admission to two after parties, where children and their families can enjoy refreshments, craft activities and meet the cast of the shows.
The first 50 people purchasing new season tickets for next season will receive an invitation to the special "Mad Hatter's tea party" following the Alice in Wonderland show.
