This award-winning stage adaptation by renowned playwright James DeVita takes Lewis Carroll’s original Through the Looking Glass and literally runs with it. The play still retains some of Carroll’s deeper meanings, but what it possesses most of all is a huge helping of unabashed silliness! This delightful romp through Alice’s looking glass land retains all of the familiar characters then introduces dozens of new ones: a baseball team, a gospel group called The Responsibilities, a train conductor, a peanut salesman, detectives, a Miss America pageant, star-struck tourists, plastic saber wielding knights, and much more. The Children’s Book and Play Review declares, “… delightful, amusing and believable in a land that’s not.” This MAC Education Production is by kids, for kids. All of the actors and many backstage positions are filled by children.

Running time is approximately 115 minutes, including a 15-minute intermission, with concessions, coffee, toy and book sales.
