Mark Saltzman's ALICE FORMERLY OF WONDERLAND to Premiere at Wyoming Theater Festival

The Wyoming Theater Festival in Sheridan, WY, will premiere Mark Saltzman's new play with music, ALICE FORMERLY OF WONDERLAND from July 18th - July 29th, under the direction of New York director Kent Nicholson.

Alice Formerly of Wonderland is a new romantic comedy based on the true events in the love life of Liddell, the real-life inspiration for Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. This bittersweet valentine tells the tale of Prince Leopold's courtship of Alice Liddell and his mother, Queen Victoria's reaction (not amused). The show includes well-known songs of the era and a few glimpses of the creatures of Alice's Wonderland.

Alice Formerly of Wonderland plays at the Mars Theater (2 N Main St, Sheridan, WY 82801) on Monday, July 18 at 7:00, Wednesday, July 20 at 2:00, Thursday, July 21 at 7:00, Saturday, July 23 at 2:00, Sunday, July 24 at 7:00, Wednesday, July 27 at 2:00, and Friday, July 29 at 7:00.
