Bad Hat’s Theatre’s Alice in Wonderland, presented by Tweed & Company Theatre, is not the same Alice you grew up with. This Alice (Colleen Furlan) is a child in grade school. Alice shows up for class with her homework assignment incomplete because she doesn’t know what to write in response to the final question, “What will you be when you grow up?” As is typical of precocious children, Alice questions everything, from the mundane to the profound.

Find out why I think Alice in Wonderland is worth the day trip from Ottawa to Bancroft here.
