DANBURY, CONN. — The Western Connecticut State University Department of Theatre Arts will present “Alice in Wonderland: The Manhattan Project” in four performances at WCSU on Saturday and Sunday, April 27 and 28, 2013.

The WCSU production of “Alice in Wonderland” follows the classic children’s tale with an experimental twist and special focus on movement. It features a young girl named Alice whose curiosity gets the better of her when she follows the White Rabbit down the rabbit hole. From there, she arrives in Wonderland, a mysterious place filled with strange creatures, leading to crazy adventures.
