What happens after "happily ever after?" James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim take everyone's favorite storybook characters and bring them together for a timeless, yet relevant, piece. The Tony Award-winning book and score are both enchanting and touching. The story follows a Baker and his wife, who wish to have a child; Cinderella, who wishes to attend the King's Festival; and Jack, who wishes his cow would give milk. When the Baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of a Witch's curse, the two set off on a journey to break the curse. Everyone's wish is granted, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later with disastrous results.

Announcing auditions for Wonderland, our student Summer Intensive. 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 a
revised 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.
