Imagine playing croquet in a fairytale world and having a tea party with your favorite storybook characters. Vol State’s Children’s Theatre Class will present Alice in Wonderland- an audience-interactive children’s play.
“This show is written to be very audience immersive,” said Director Brendan Tramel, who also plays a supporting role as the Cheshire cat. “The audience sort of helps us get Alice to Wonderland.” The play will involve crowd participation, including an interactive tea party and croquet game.
Tramel teaches the Children’s Theatre class at Vol State. “I’ve been doing theatre since I was in middle school and then started teaching right out of college,” she said. “It’s something that I love- every aspect of it.”
Landon Klapwyk, who plays the role of the Mad Hatter, said, “There are definitely a lot of surprises to come.
The play will be performed on October 22 and 23 at 7 p.m. in the Steinhauer-Rogan-Black Building, Room 150 on the Gallatin campus at 1480 Nashville Pike. Masks are required for indoor performances. There is also a special outdoor show on October 23 at 4 p.m. in the SRB Plaza, weather permitting. Audience members are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets for outdoor seating. Admission is free. For more information, contact: brendan.tramel@volstate.edu.
