Things are getting “curiouser and curiouser” at DeltaARTS these days, as the cast and crew have begun rehearsals for this summer’s production of “Alice in Wonderland: The Musical,” with an all-ages cast of local actors, singers, dancers and production crew.

Based on the beloved children’s book by Lewis Carroll and adapted into a Broadway-style musical by Janet Yates and Mark Friedman, Alice and all her friends (and enemies) will be brought to life by the DeltaARTS team next month, with the show running from June 21 through June 23, with four shows at the West Memphis Performing Arts Center.

Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased via a link on the DeltaARTS Facebook page.
