Alice in Wonderland-Play

I found out that there was an extra credit opportunity available for watching Alice in Wonderland play at the Scottish Rite Children's Theatre, so I decided to go with Olivia. I thought it'd be interesting to watch the play and was a bit excited about it. When I arrived at the theatre, I was shocked and embarrassed to be there. There should have been more emphasis put on the CHILDREN'S part. It was literally full of little kids of age 3~5 and maybe 7. The person selling the tickets looked at us weird since we were the only teenagers in the theater.

Took a bus and then walked... It took forever to find this place

Whatever. I walked in the room and sat down in the back where the chairs were. The little kids sat in the front. The play started, and the play was designed to entertain LITTLE KIDS. It was entertaining nonetheless. I spent most of the time staring at little kids' cute reactions to surprises.

This was the target audience of the play... haha...

Basic plot of the play went like this. Alice is a student in a classroom. She falls asleep in class. She wakes up in the Wonderland. She talks to a door that talks like a black woman. Yes, I forgot to mention that this play had interesting modern twist. Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum were two "wanna-be's" that talked smack, rhymed, and rapped. Quite entertaining. The play, however, mixed up the Red Queen and the Queen of Hearts! No wonder kids nowadays cannot differentiate the two. Alice referred to the Queen of Hearts as Queen of Hearts and the Red Queen interchangeably. Anyway, she eventually wakes up and starts explaining her story to her teacher; at which point, the teacher gets angry at Alice.

She is NOT the RED QUEEN

It was interesting to see Alice in Wonderland with a modern twist that was directed towards children. There were lots of audience interactions. I liked how they were able to control that many children for about an hour! I went there expecting something else, but what I saw was worth my time as well.
