Curtain's Up Theater Company Continues Season with Alice in Wonderland

(EDWARDSVILLE, IL.) Alice in Wonderland, adapted by Jim Eiler, will be performed  at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, August 30, and will continue at the same curtain time through Friday-Saturday, August 31 and September 1 and at 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, September 1 and 2, all on the mainstage in Dunham Hall on the campus of Southern Illinois University Edwardsville.

This musical, produced by Curtain's Up Theater Company (CUTC), will bring to life Lewis Carroll's unflappable young heroine who takes a tumble down an enchanted rabbit hole to an off-kilter world of mock turtles, dancing flora, punctual rabbits and mad tea parties, where playing cards hold court and nothing is as it seems. Whimsy and wordplay are the order of the day in this imaginative musical adaptation of a favorite of generations of children, adults and psychoanalysts! Alice in Wonderland is just good, clean fun.
