CHESTER and MIDLOTHIAN, Va. – The Lynn Theatre at Brightpoint Community College brings Alice by Heart to the stage this spring. Set in the rubble of the London Blitz of World War II, it follows Alice Spencer, a teen whose life has been turned upside down. When her dear friend, Alfred, is ailing and quarantined, Alice encourages him to escape with her into their cherished book, and together, they journey down the rabbit hole to Wonderland. As the story unfolds, it encourages all to celebrate the transformational power of the imagination, even during the harshest of times.
From creators Steven Sater (lyrics), Duncan Sheik (music), and co-written by Jessie Nelson, Alice by Heart is a touching musical inspired by Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Performances at The Lynn Theatre, which are being directed by Foster Solomon, will run on select dates March 21 – 30:
