Returning to Summer Stage for the first time in 10 years, Alice finds herself in a strange land filled with a kooky Mad Hatter, a Queen of Hearts, an ever-tardy White Rabbit, and a Cheshire Cat! Her journey home is only possible once she realizes her power and remembers that she can be the hero of her own story.
