Alice and the Wonderland Revue is an insightful musical inspired by the Katrina disaster. Alice is a young girl who loses everything in the hurricane and must find her way back to her home from the New Orleans Super Dome. On her way home she becomes ensnared in a world of twisted fantasy and deviously deranged characters. Once in Wonderland, she finds herself trapped in the confusion of this topsy-turvy world and must fight to find her way back to reality. Friday & Saturday at 8pm; Sunday at 3pm

May 24: Migration Stories
Participants will make a simple journal and record important life memories and/or their family’s experience with moving from one place to another, inspired by the work of Jacob Lawrence and the book The Great Migration. We will create a group migration poem in the form of a ballad as well as gouache (opaque watercolor) paintings inspired by a personal reminiscence or family story of migration. Optional: participants can bring personal photos or symbols to use as references. Instructor: Miranda Bergman
