Wonderland Rules Adapted from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll

When a restless young Alice follows a frantic White Rabbit down a mysterious rabbit hole, she tumbles into Wonderland—a world where nothing is quite what it seems. Here, doors refuse to open, races have no winners, tea parties never end, and every rule seems designed to keep everyone exactly where they’re expected to be. As Alice encounters a delightfully eccentric collection of unforgettable characters, she must navigate a landscape where logic is turned upside down and asking the wrong question can be the most dangerous thing of all.

Inspired by Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, this inventive ensemble adaptation transforms Lewis Carroll’s classic into a fast-paced theatrical celebration of imagination, identity, and curiosity. Using a bare stage, a handful of simple props, and an endlessly creative company of actors who build the world before the audience’s eyes, Wonderland Rules blends laugh-out-loud comedy with genuine heart. The result is a fresh, theatrical retelling that invites audiences of all ages to embrace curiosity, challenge expectations, and discover that sometimes the only way to find yourself is to stop worrying about the rules.
