Youth Theatre Carson City presents Disney’s Alice in Wonderland, Jr. this weekend

Youth Theatre Carson City is proud to announce our upcoming production of Disney’s Alice in Wonderland, Jr., based on the classic Disney animated film, April 8-10, 2016 in the Bob Boldrick Theatre at the Carson City Community Center.

The ever-curious Alice’s journey begins innocently enough as she chases the White Rabbit. Her adventures become increasingly more strange as she races the Dod Bird, gets tied up with Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, raps with a bubble-blowing Caterpillar and beats the Queen of Hearts at her own game.

Featuring updated songs from Disney’s thrilling animated motion picture, Alice in Wonderland, Jr. is a fast-paced take on the classic tale.

Alice in Wonderland, Jr. features the talents of over 100 local youth grades K-12. Leading the cast are Hailey Ponczoch and Abby Golik as Alice, a role also shared by Jinnie Ponczoch and Avery Swenson (Small Alice), and McKenzie Henley-Ballard and Shania Sweikar (Tall Alice).

Also featured are Quentin Powers and Xander Borg as the mischievous Mad Hatter; Ethne Myler and Hayden Breiter as the always late White Rabbit; and Juliet Favero and Melanie Proctor as a very sassy Caterpillar. And what production of Alice in Wonderland would be complete without the Cheshire Cat, played in all his many forms by Serena Dantzler, Stephanie Melsheimer, Clarissa Quintana, Isabella Basche, Delany Lauderbaugh, and Shannon Mick.

This production is dedicated to our fellow cast-member and friend, Ethan McKinney, who recently lost his battle with cancer at the very young age of fifteen. While he can’t fulfill his role onstage, we know that he will be there singing and dancing with us in spirit. Proceeds from our raffle sales at the production will go to start the Ethan McKinney Memorial Scholarship, which, as Ethan wished, will go to help other young people have the opportunities to get onstage and shine.

Performances of Alice in Wonderland, Jr. will run April 8 and 9 at 7pm and April 9 and 10 at 2pm in the Bob Boldrick Theatre at the Carson City Community Center located at 851 E. William Street in Carson City, NV. Tickets are $12 General Admission, $10 Students and Seniors. For tickets and information visit our website www.youththeatrecarsoncity.com.
