This year’s season premiere live theatre production at Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College is the legendary Alice in Wonderland. The event will feature three evening performances, plus a Halloween matinee with an onstage tea party and costume contest. Alice in Wonderland will take place in the NEO Fine Arts Center October 28-30 at 7:30 p.m. and October 31 at 2:30 p.m. The show runs approximately eighty minutes. The costume contest and Hatter’s Tea Party will begin a few minutes after the Sunday matinee.
Alice in Wonderland follows the young adventurer, Through the Looking Glass, as she explores a surreal world filled with the vibrant characters of Lewis Carroll’s classic tales.
On Sunday, immediately after the final performance, anyone who would like to attend the Hatter’s Tea Party can enter Wonderland for an additional $5 to enjoy tea, potions, cakes and tarts onstage with Alice and the rest of the cast. The cast and crew will select and announce costume contest winners on Sunday at the Hatter’s Tea Party. You must be present and in costume to win. Wonderland-themed costumes are not required to enter the contest but are given preference.
