-Alice in Wonderland
Plays & Players Children’s Theatre presents…
ALICE IN WONDERLAND
A play with music adapted from the book by Lewis Carroll
Directed by Betty Chomentowski
Set & Costume Design by Lance Moore
Original Music by Helen McCrane
Alice in Wonderland is a play for all ages. A peculiar blend of fantasy and reality, it is a story that resonates with young people and is written in language that delights adults. Add color, action and costumes for the youngest set and everyone follows along as Alice (the child) explores Wonderland (the adult world.) It is no wonder that Lewis Carroll's fantasy is still read 143 years after its first printing; the book has been translated into more than 125 languages and adapted into countless stage and film versions.

-Exit, Corpse
WORLD PREMIERE OF…
EXIT, CORPSE
Written by Nick Wardigo
Directed by Carol Laratonda
Starring Felicia Leicht, Amber Wiley Capps, and Nick Gillette
A dark comedy and world premiere by Philadelphia playwright Nicholas Wardigo, Exit, Corpse introduces us to Penny and Madison - two women one would certainly not pair together as being friends. As Madison eloquently puts it, “You’re a margarita. I’m more of a scotch-on-the-rocks.” But when a gunshot is heard at 10:00pm in a four-star Philadelphia hotel room, these two women must work together if they’re going to get out alive.
