A Tour Of Wonderland

By Stephanie Bunker

Moapa Valley Progress

What do you expect to find in Wonderland? The MVHS Drama students will be presenting their twist on what Wonderland is like when they perform Alice in Wonderland: The Musical. The play will be presented March 18-21 at 6:30 pm each evening. Tickets will be sold at the door at the price of $5 for students and $7 for adults.

This play is a bigger production than most at MVHS. It entails 50 roles. The 15 kids already in Theater class received the larger roles, while others that auditioned filled in the smaller parts.

The cast of 35 and crew of 15 have used their imaginations and talent to bring a classic Alice in Wonderland with some modern comical twists. Drama Teacher Kenna Dalley said that the audience should come expecting to laugh. “We aren’t taking ourselves seriously,” Dalley said.

This Alice in Wonderland is a musical and the script came with a piano score. Dalley said she has found difficulty in getting a pianist for practices and performances so they have come up with their own creative idea to solve that problem, which will be unveiled at the performances.

Many of the cast have never been in a theatre production before. Many students that have wanted to be in a show and see what it takes are getting that experience. Schedules have been a challenge with the many other activities going on, but Dalley said she has been able to work them out in preparation for the show.

Dalley said that several students have really embraced theatre.

“I hope they will come away with a better understanding of what theatre is,” she said.

Several of the graduating Seniors have been serious about continuing on in theatre through college. College scouts from UNLV and USU will be coming out to MVHS to see the talent in the kids that have dreams to grow their expertise in the art of theatre.
