2009 -2010 Outreach Performances
Alice in Wonderland
Tuesday, September 29, 2009, 9:30 AM & 12:30 PM
Sponsored by WAL-MART
Madcap high jinks and outlandish adventures are the order of the day as lavishly costumed characters and giant nine-foot tall puppets whirl, dance and sing on their journey through Lewis Carroll's mythical setting, Wonderland. Our heroine learns it takes self-reliance and quick thinking to tame the comic nonsense of the Queen of Hearts, the Cheshire Cat, and Wonderland's other unpredictable residents.
Harold and The Purple Crayon
Friday, November 20, 2009, 9:30 AM & 12:30 PM
Resourceful and brave, Harold creates the world he wants to explore, using nothing more than a big purple crayon and his sky's-the-limit imagination. Enchantment Theatre Company's production will take you on a wild ride as Harold jets to Mars, joins a circus, and meets a king in an enchanted garden.
