Alice in Wonderland: A Musical Panto

The People’s Light Theatre holiday tradition is back! This year, they venture down the rabbit hole in a brand-new holiday panto! On her first day of skiddle mool—oops, we mean middle school!—Alice Liddle stumbles upon a strange book in the library and ends up in a mysterious, magical place. Cheer the heroes, boo the bad guys, and help Alice find her way home in this panto-tastic take on Lewis Carroll’s madcap classic. Recommended for ages 5 to 105! The panto has been a People’s Light signature for almost two decades. With origins dating back to commedia dell’arte, the “pantomime” takes a well-known children’s story and turns it on its ear. Audiences of all ages gather in droves to partake in the songs, dances, topical jokes, and jovial camaraderie of this longstanding tradition. This year, People’s Light is thrilled to welcome award-winning drag performer Eric Jaffe as the audience’s new guide through the magical mayhem in the role of Dinah/Cheshire Cat. Masks are currently required indoors at People’s Light except when actively eating or drinking.
