Synopsis:

We have all heard of Alice in Wonderland, but do you really know the story? Did you know that Alice becomes bored while being taught an important lesson in History, her mind quickly distracted, drifting in and out of her world and ours. Curiosity gets the best of her when she spots a beautiful white rabbit with a pocket watch and follows him through the opening of a tree, leading her to a world of mixed-up babble, which makes little sense, even to Alice.

Come help Alice wake from her nightmarish daydream, if you dare.

I look forward to seeing you soon and hope you enjoy the rest of your summer,

Kathryn Ridder
