About the Show

Alice in Wonderland is a full-length fantasy by Eva Le Gallienne and Florida Friebus, adapted from Lewis Carroll. Originally produced and later revived on Broadway, this is the most successful dramatic version of Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass.
Join Alice down the rabbit hole as she discovers the magic of Wonderland. “Curiouser and curiouser,” animals speak in riddles, nonsense makes sense, and the adventures of young Alice reveal her pluck, intelligence and imagination. Since this adaptation contains elements of Lewis Carroll’s novel Alice in Wonderland, as well as the book’s sequel, Through the Looking Glass, it offers myriad opportunities for multiple role-playing over a large range or types and ages. Alice in Wonderland honors the beloved and iconic text while introducing us to an Alice that will delight present-day audiences of all generations. Eva Le Gallienne and Florida Friebus wanted to create a production of Alice in Wonderland that was true to Lewis Carroll’s words, combined the best moments and characters from Alice in Wonderland and its sequel, and made both books come to life. This fantastical tale, full of clever wordplay and timeless characters, is as beloved by adults as by children.

New for 2025 – Volunteer Requirements

Parent volunteerism is a crucial part of what makes Shade Tree Players summer productions successful. Not only it is an opportunity to be involved in and support your child’s growth in theatre, we cannot function without it. We respectfully request that you choose to either commit to at least 3 hours of volunteering for your child’s production (5 hours maximum for multiple children) or pay $75 (maximum of $125 for multiple children) up front to “waive” your volunteer commitment. This fee will go toward hiring summer help to fulfill the jobs not filled by volunteers. Volunteer job opportunities will be announced at the parent meetings for each production. The first 3 hours of volunteering will be rewarded with 2 comp tickets (3 for 5 hours) and at a rate of 1 ticket per every two additional hours with no maximum. Please note that we will have a more structured system of accountability and you will receive reminders for scheduled volunteer jobs and we will check that commitments are fulfilled.  We really appreciate your support and hope this year is even better and more successful than last year!
