Alice In Wonderland…with a twist
SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) — If you like your fairy tales a little bit twisted, then get ready for 'Alice In Wonderland' like you've never seen!
Presented by The Assembly Of Phantasms, a Savannah-based performance troupe dedicated to creating mesmerizing and unforgettable dark theatrical experiences, this 'Alice' will push some boundaries.
'It's definitely a 21-and-up show,' says producer/director/adaptor Valerie America Lavelle. 'You'll see all kinds of performance genres: burlesque, drag, puppetry…there is something for everyone…who's over 21!'
Lavelle has selected local performers for the show. She says, while they will follow the general framework of the original Lewis Carroll story, she picked people who can bring the words to life, while infusing their own talents and enthusiasm.
'I love to see what people come up with for their parts. I give them a lot of free rein with their assigned roles.' As with many local performances, this is a labor of love. The actors choreograph scenes, make their own costumes, and collaborate with each other.
Valerie is excited about staging 'Alice' at Club One. 'I know that space and feel comfortable with what we can accomplish. Working with talented crew, like stage and set designer Erin Muller and sound designer Cami Nicole Hall, makes this such a great collaboration. And we've got a cast of familiar faces –Jeremiah Kizer is our White Rabbit! — and a lot of new faces too.
So get ready to go down the rabbit hole with Alice as she eats and drinks her way to a show like no other.
Catch 'Alice In Wonderland' with the Assembly Of Phantasms April 4th and 5th at Club One. Get your tickets here.
