THE SOUTHSHIRE COMMUNITY SCHOOL PRESENTS
ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND
NORTH BENNINGTON – The Southshire Community School welcomes the public to our adaptation of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll on Wednesday, December 18 at 7 PM at Theater D207, VAPA, Bennington College.
Join Alice in her journey down the rabbit hole as she meets a seemingly unending cast of unique creatures in a slew of fantastical experiences. You'll recognize familiar names and themes from this work that have become the stuff of popular culture. From the White Rabbit to the Cheshire Cat, and from the Mad Hatter to the Queen of Hearts, this story is full of characters that the students have enjoyed getting to know and be.
The Winter Play is a long-standing tradition at Southshire; one of two theatrical performances each year. This will be the thirty-second Winter Play in the school's history. Early each winter and late each spring the students' interest shifts from academic studies towards creativity and social interaction as they work on two theatrical productions each year. The entire student community, from the youngest to the oldest students, work together to develop and produce the play. They design and sew their costumes, create sets and props, and, of course, practice lines.
About the Southshire Community School Southshire Community School is a Vermont approved, progressive, family-oriented elementary school (K-8). Founded in 1987, its goal has been to help children become individuals who possess academic and critical thinking skills, love learning and value themselves as creative, contributing members of a community. The Southshire culture – where children of all ages come together to learn, explore and share their individual interests in a safe, nurturing environment – encourages students to respect each other's thoughts, opinions, and interests. Busing is available for students from neighboring communities in Cambridge and Hoosick, New York.
