Newtown’s Community Learning Project (CLP) will entertain young and old alike with their all-new musical adaptation of Lewis Carroll’s classic story about a girl caught in a mesmerizing dreamworld. Alice, of down-the-rabbit-hole fame, is back for a brand new musical adventure in New York City! Both old and new characters embark on a crazy, quirky, and fun-filled escapade on the sometimes phantasmagorical NYC Subway system, said a news release.
Surprises, laughs, and good music abound!
This whimsical adaptation was written by Twyla Hafferman, the director of The Community Learning Project’s Performing Arts Program, in collaboration with her creatively minded young actors.
“This process has been such an exciting journey for us all,” said Hafferman. “Creating something brand new is an unusual experience for such young performers and these kids really embraced Alice with their hearts and souls!”
An amazing new musical score has been written and arranged specifically for Alice by the talented Francine Wheeler, an accomplished musician and singer. ”I had so much fun developing songs for this really funny adaptation of Alice in Wonderland,” said Wheeler. “I am so proud of this group of kids and their dedication to this show. The songs and music were tailored to this very special Alice adventure— with each of these actors in mind— and they make it all shine!”
The Community Learning Project is an enrichment program for homeschooling families. The Performing Arts Program seeks to combine the magic of a homespun play with nurturing and professional voice and drama direction so as to enrich the lives of our performers, families, and audiences.
