Later this year, Waiuku Theatre Group will be bringing a new, exciting production to the stage. From the depths of a rabbit hole comes Alex in Wonderland. It is written and directed by local woman Amber Turner.
In this new show, there will be mysterious, quirky, and hilarious characters, including Alex and his trusty dog Skunk, four Cheshire kittens, a totally Mad Hatter, and the evil Queen of Hearts.
The whole cast rehearses very hard every Sunday, Monday and Wednesday to make the perfect production for all ages.
The awesome cast includes many amazing people who give up their time to perform for the
town. Dillon Windleburn takes the leading role as Alex, Meghan Shackel will be performing her first show as Skunk the dog, and life-member Alan Thomson AKA Mr. Caterpillar, is very funny and will entertain everybody.
Behind the scenes are lots of handy, helpful people who are making props, finding costumes, doing lighting and sound and planning make-up. Not to mention all the other extremely important people who are directing, prompting, production managers, choreography, stage managers, front of house and set design.
School shows are from Wednesday, June 11, to Friday, June 13. For the public, there will be an opportunity to see the show on June 14 at 2pm and 6pm and on June 15 at 2pm at the Waiuku War Memorial Hall.
You can get your tickets from the Waiuku Theatre Group website.
Don’t miss this amazing show put together by the excellent Waiuku Theatre Group.
