The 2014-2015 season of HWS Theatre continues with the opportunity to follow Alice into an unsettling Wonderland in a play that Time magazine called "an exciting, absorbing, vertiginous descent into a laughing hell." Initially created by the Manhattan Project and André Gregory in 1970, "Alice in Wonderland" runs Feb. 19, 20 and 21 at 7:30 p.m. in the Bartlett Theatre.

Emerging from the experimental theatre movements of the late-1960s, "Alice in Wonderland" uses an ensemble of eight performers to stage the mercurial madness of Lewis Carroll in a tour-de-force piece of physical theatre. It will be directed by Professor Chris Woodworth. Influenced by Kafka, Dali, Freud, and Jung, this production of "Alice in Wonderland" takes a sinister turn.

The cast includes: Luis Figueroa '18 (Cheshire Cat, Red King, Humpty Dumpty); Kathleen Fowkes '18 (Cook, Red Queen, Dodo); Loren Hiser '15 (Lewis, Mad Hatter, Caterpillar); Megan Musa '15 (Alice); Sam Shaffner '17 (Duchess, Mouse, Forest); Nicolas Stewart '15 (March Hare, White Knight, Duck); Elizabeth Strano '16 (Frog Footman, White Quee, Lory) and Natalie Young '18 (Dormouse, Crab).

The production team includes guest artists Derrick Vanmeter scenic and lighting designer and technical director; Bekah Frees Carey, costume designer; Kelly Walker, sound designer; as well as students Morgan Mayer '16, stage manager; Shannon Savard '15 and Will Conard-Malley '17, assistant stage managers; and Clare McCormick '17 as dramaturg.

Tickets will be available for purchase in the College Store and Area Records in Geneva in the weeks leading up to each performance. A limited number of ticket vouchers will be available free to HWS students. All other tickets are $5.
