Middle School performance of Alice @ Wonderland inspires wonder

The Middle School presented its second annual school play Alice @ Wonderland on March 6 and 7 to a rapt audience in the Abdul Majeed Shoman Auditorium. With a cast of 27, a technical theater crew of 16, and a production team of six students, the Middle School really came together to put on a large and imaginative production.

The set lived up to the play’s name; inspiring wonder in the audience with its fantastic shapes and swirling psychedelic colors, bringing to mind an enchanted forest. The cast, directed by Middle School Dean Reem Abu Rahmeh, brought an old classic to life, giving the tale a new twist with modern day references. In keeping with the storyline, the cast’s lively performance bordered on madness, anchored by the efficient and excellent efforts of the technical and production crews. The performance, filled with music, dancing, singing and fantastic costumes, was a big hit!
