SATURDAY, JUNE 6TH & SUNDAY, JUNE 7TH
On Saturday, June 6th and Sunday, June 7th, get ready for an unforgettable weekend of excitement and adventure at our biggest Theatre Showcase, featuring five live stage productions across the two days!
Step into a reimagined Wonderland where an older, bolder Alice rewrites her story. Navigating colour, chaos and perpetual tea parties, she embarks on a journey of self-discovery. This magical adventure reveals that Wonderland is a reflection of Alice’s own heart and imagination.
Theatre groups, featuring actors from Downtown Toronto, the East End, the West End, and Mississauga will come together to perform an original, theatrical production titled, “Wonderland: The Next Chapter”.
