ALICE AND WONDERLAND Plays the Nomadic Theatre 6/4 - 6/27

Following a sold-out reading as part of the Fertile Ground Festival, the Nomadic Theatre Company will host the retelling of Alice and Wonderland utilizing masks, stilts, and the human body, with puppets courtesy of Michael Curry. Company co-founder Michael O'Neill directs this original, character-based show using physical comedy, acrobatics, and stilts.

The production will take the audience into the rabbit hole to encounter the mysterious world that awaits. This new character-driven adaptation of the novel by Lewis Carroll features the original characters - Alice, the White Rabbit, the Caterpillar, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, The Queen of Hearts - conceived in a new light.

Alice and Wonderland will be playing at the Nomadic theatre June 4&5, 11&12, 18-20, 25-27 at 8pm on Friday and Saturdays and 2pm on Sundays. Tickets are $15 for adults and $12 for students. More information is available at brownpapertickets.com 

The Nomadic Theatre Co, based in Portland, Oregon, has been creating and performing original physical theatre shows since 2002. To develop a new show, Nomadic performers and directors take ideas which interest and excite them and delve into them in the studio. For example, they created How to Fly by physically exploring numerous aspects and avenues of the topic of flight. The three core company members - Michael O'Neill, Sarah Liane Foster and Heather Pearl - have performed and taught in communities across the United States as well as internationally. They are graduates of the Dell'Arte International School of Blue Lake, CA.
