Croswell Theatre Camp presents “Disney’s Alice in Wonderland JR.”

Lakeside Chautauqua, in partnership with the Croswell Opera House, is proud to present “Disney’s Alice in Wonderland JR.,” a children’s theatre camp experience, July 29-Aug. 2.

Geared toward rising 2nd graders through rising 8th graders, this theatre camp production takes participants from auditions and costumes, to props and the stage. Not only will children be immersed in all things musical and theatrical, but they’ll also be part of the show!

The Croswell Opera House, Michigan’s oldest theatre, returns to Lakeside with its stage set in tow to lead this production taught by local and professional artists. Campers are given onstage opportunities to learn theatre skills, such as singing, dancing and character work, as well as work on teambuilding, communication and collaboration.

SHOW DESCRIPTION
Step into the wacky world of Wonderland in this vibrant new retelling of a Disney classic. Fall down the rabbit hole with Alice as she navigates the curious world of Wonderland on a journey of self-discovery.

This 60-minute stage adaptation of the classic Disney animated film and the Lewis Carroll stories makes a triumphant return to the Broadway Junior® catalogue, with an updated script and score made specifically for today’s young performers.

When young Alice finds herself in a strange world where everything seems upside down, she must find her way home… and find herself along the way. As she travels through Wonderland, she encounters all of the iconic characters that audiences have come to love: including the ever-tardy White Rabbit, the grinning Cheshire Cat, a cool Caterpillar, the wacky Mad Hatter and the hot-tempered Queen of Hearts.

“Alice in Wonderland JR.” features Disney favorites such as “The Golden Afternoon,” “The Unbirthday Song” and “Painting the Roses Red,” along with brand-new songs, including music from the 2010 live-action film.

Whether this is your first experience with Alice or your hundredth, you’ll fall in love all over again with this timeless story of adventure, imagination and pure fun.
