   Kent State Stark Theatre Presents Alice in Wonderland



(Jackson Township, OH - March 26, 2009)           Kent State University Stark presents this season's final theatre production, Alice in Wonderland, adapted for the stage by The Manhattan Project, from the book by Lewis Carroll. Performances take place at 8 p.m. on April 10, 11, 16, 17 and 18. The matinee performance is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. on April 19. Opening night is Scholarship Night. All of the proceeds from the April 10 performance will benefit music and theatre scholarships. The production will take place in the Kent State Stark Fine Arts Theatre, 6000 Frank Avenue NW in Jackson Township. This production is intended for mature audiences only. Viewer discretion is advised.



Nearly everyone knows this wonderful story and its simple premise: What might happen in pursuit of adventure? Even though we know the story, we still follow the waist-coated white rabbit with the watch as though we were children again. The classic tale is reinvented by The Manhattan Project, playing with logic in ways that have made it timeless, while providing just a slightly darker twist.



Ticket prices are $10 for adults and $5 for non-Kent State students, children under 17 and Senior Citizens. All Kent State students are admitted free of charge with student ID. For reservations and group rates, contact the Kent State Stark Theatre Box Office, Mondays through Fridays from 1 to 5 p.m. at 330-244-3348, beginning March 30.



Directing Alice in Wonderland is Phillip Robb, assistant professor of theatre at Kent State Stark. Louis Williams is the scenic and lighting designer. Susan Blurton is the costume designer.
