The Sage School Theater Company Presents a Production of Disney’s Alice in Wonderland Jr.
On Friday, May 28 at 7:00 p.m., The Sage School Theater Company will present a production of Disney’s Alice in Wonderland Jr. The show will be held at the Foxboro Orpheum Theatre located at One School Street in Foxboro Center. Tickets will be sold at the door and are $3 for children and $5 for adults.
The Sage School Theater Company consists of 34 students in grades 5-8 who are members of the school’s After School Theater program. This program is designed for students who are interested in studying theater more in depth under the guidance of Arts Department Chair and Performing Arts Teacher, Danielle Bazinet and Music Teacher, Jill Hogan. Students audition for speaking and singing roles, but many other students participate as members of the chorus and also work as set crew, creating sets, and props to use during the show.
This is the second year the school will be presenting the spring musical at the Orpheum. Last year, the school performed Give My Regards to Broadway.
“This is an exciting opportunity for our students to participate in a full scale musical at the middle school level,” says Danielle Bazinet. “Having the opportunity to work with the Orpheum Theatre is a wonderful introduction for them that may lead to future performing opportunities in secondary school and community-theater.”
The production of Alice in Wonderland Jr. is appropriate for all ages with a running length of an hour and a half. The musical is based on the Disney animated film and the novels The Adventures of Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll.
