The Young Actors Theatre (YAT), Indianapolis’ oldest not-for-profit children’s theater, is retelling Lewis
Carroll’s nonsense classic “Alice in Wonderland”—-making it new for now. Their fresh take on “Alice in Wonderland” will be presented on Thursday, January 22 at 7 p.m. and on Saturday, January 24 at 3 p.m. The Young Actors Theatre’s modern version of Alice begins in the year 2009 when an inner city 9th grader named Alice wakes up to all the people she knows acting very strange. Has the entire world changed? Can caterpillars talk? Has she lost her mind? Why does the cat grin constantly? Or is this a dream? For the answers to these and other questions, show up at the Learning Curve at the Central Library downtown. This program will be performed by the Young Actors Theatre TEENZ, an acting troupe of 31 students in 8th – 12th grades.
