Program Notes
Wonderland pays homage to the marvel and magic of live theater––a love letter to the immense power and delight one finds within these walls. This work was originally made for film during the height of the Pandemic. Now we happily inhabit this beautiful space again with a renewed sense of gratitude for the shared experience of live performance.
