A riveting spin on the classic story of Alice and her Looking-Glass World, this contemporary adaption features a fresh pop score with music from Frank Wildhorn (Jekyll & Hyde, The Civil War, Bonnie & Clyde), lyrics by Jack Murphy (The Civil War), and arevised book by Jennifer Paulson-Lee and Gabriel Barre (based on an original book by Gregory Boyd (The Civil War) and Jack Murphy). This updated vision of Wonderland premiered in 2022.

Our modern day Alice struggles to balance the commitments of work and family, estranged from her husband and alienated from her daughter. Upon a dreamy trip to a Wonderland, she encounters strange yet familiar characters including a Cheshire Cat with a fabulous flair, a delightfully dotty Queen of Hearts, and a malicious Mad Hatter. Alice is challenged with the task of reuniting with her inner child on a fantastical journey down the rabbit hole and into our hearts, learning about the immense power of believing in yourself.

Wonderland is directed by Shileah Corey and choreographed by Alia Thomaier with musical direction by Aimee Naughton.  

July 17-26, 2026 at The Black Box Theatre at Edmonds College

Announcing auditions for our first show of the 2026/2027 season - The Ballyhoo Mainstage production of CABARET! 
 
Cabaret, the 1966 groundbreaking masterpiece with music by John Kander and Fred Ebb and book by Joe Masteroff, is set in the shadows of 1931 Berlin during the rise of the Nazi regime. Cabaret explores the relationships between club performer Sally Bowles and American novelist Cliff Bradshaw, and between gentile Fräulein Schneider, a boarding house proprietor, and her tenant Herr Schultz, a mild-mannered Jewish fruit seller. Overseeing the action at the Kit Kat Klub is the mysterious Master of Ceremonies, presenting classic musical theatre hits as commentary throughout the piece. Cabaret examines the dangers of keeping our eyes closed to the world around us, and reminds us to stand up against the power of hatred to take away our human rights.

Auditions start June 21. Ages 18+
