Re­hearsals for the show started on Au­gust 24 and will con­tinue un­til the dates of the show.  

“We al­ways look for shows that ap­peal to peo­ple of all ages, young and old alike,” Swer­man said. “That’s how Al­ice came to be our Fall show.” 

Fans of the Bethel Uni­ver­sity The­atre Arts De­part­ment can look for­ward to see­ing some re­turn­ing ac­tors and some new faces in this pro­duc­tion.  

Al­ice in Won­der­land is like a fever dream,” Swer­man said. “It’s not quite a night­mare, but it’s not quite right at the same time. That’s our goal to con­vey through the act­ing and through the de­sign of the show.”
