One Night Stand Theater presents "One Night Stand in Wonderland"

One Night Stand Theater presents "One Night Stand in Wonderland," an evening of theatrical readings and plays about “Alice in Wonderland” and Lewis Carroll, on Sunday, April 7, 7:00 p.m. at the Vintage Theatre, 1468 Dayton St., one half-block south of Colfax Avenue in Old Downtown Aurora.

The performance features stories and nonsense poetry from “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” and “Through the Looking Glass.” Author Lewis Carroll’s most fascinating characters will be showcased, including Alice, the Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat, the Queen of Hearts, and the Jabberwocky. In addition, short plays and adaptations inspired by Alice in Wonderland by local playwrights Bill Thompson and Dave Brandl will be featured.

“Our goal for the evening is to travel through the humorous, twisted logic of the two Alice books and make stops along the way with the interesting characters she encounters,” says One Night Stand Theater artistic director James O’Leary. “In Wonderland, Lewis Carroll created a multi-faceted world, and we hope to explore some of the many layers of that world and allow the characters to come to life through the talents of our actors.”

One Night Stand Theater is a Denver-area theater group that presents one-night-only evenings of theatrical staged readings, each with its own theme. Past performances have included Shakespeare, folk stories, horror, “Dysfunctional Family Theater” and “Hearts on Fire.”

The performance is recommended for adults of any age and children age 10 and older. Tickets are $8 for adults, $5 for students. To make reservations, e-mail tickets@onenightstandtheater.org or phone 303-670-3628. More information is available at onenightstandtheater.org.
