Christchurch National
School brings its fun, exciting and
adventure packed production of “Alice
in Wonderland” to Garter Lane
from May 15th to 17th.
Following
the success of the schools production of “Over the Rainbow” in 2011, the
pupils, from Junior Infants through to Sixth Class, will all feature in the much
loved Lewis Carroll’s classic about a girl who falls down a rabbit hole into a
fantasy world populated by peculiar, human-like animals.
According
to Claire Reidy, teacher and producer of Alice
in Wonderland, all of the children have been bitten by the performing bug. “The children have taken this play to heart
and are having so much fun rehearsing the songs and dance moves. What makes it
even more exciting, and slightly nerve-wracking, is that they will be
performing at Garter Lane, which is a wonderful home to children’s theatre,
art, comedy and dance in Waterford city.”
Claire
added “Every single child in the school is involved in the play. As we draw nearer to curtain up, the
excitement is building and building and the talk of the school is Alice, The
Mad Hatter, The Red Queen and all the other remarkable characters.”
According
to Janet Twigg, Principal Christchurch NS, the theme of the show came from the
proverb Fear makes the wolf bigger than he is.
“We felt that this theme was particularly appropriate for our young
cast. It deals with Alice’s
fears as she moves through Wonderland and her eventual triumph as she stands
firm against that which she fears most.”
“Apart
from the Mums, Dads and terribly proud grandparents, our 2011 production was
very well attended by local schools and community groups and we expect that
this year’s production will attract the same interest”, Janet added.
If
you fancy a trip down the rabbit hole for a hair - raising, fun - filled,
adventure - packed musical, tickets are available for the matinee and evening
performances from Garter Lane Box Office
