Community schools lunch gives sneak peek of ‘Alice in Wonderland’ production
Community members got a sneak peek at Glencoe-Silver Lake High School’s production of “Alice in Wonderland” on Friday afternoon at the GSL community schools lunch.
Musical captains Jordan Doolittle, the Cheshire Cat; Tina Bonillo, the Red Queen; Leah Peterson, Violet; and Travis Uecker, the Mad Hatter, gave a synopsis of the play to those in attendance. Bonillo explained the production follows Alice as she jumps down the rabbit hole into Wonderland and encounters many different creatures.
This year the musical is headed by a new director, Catherine Miller. Doolittle said both Miller and the new students have done a great job.
“It’s been a rebuilding year,” Doolittle said. “I’m really proud to see how the students have come together to really help it up to be a student-run show this year.”
The musical is a junior production, which means it is shorter than most musicals with only one act instead of two. That means there is no intermission this year.
