Local theater’s wild take on Through the Looking Glass
Summer is quickly waning. What else can your entire family do together during one last weekend before it’s over? How about this: nine cast members performing 25 roles in a musical with main characters as chess pieces and tunes including country, pop and gospel? You betcha! Costume changes alone are worth the low, summer-fun $10 and $12 admission price for this comedic and modernized take on Lewis Carroll’s classic novel Through the Looking Glass. The story follows Alice’s journey from pawn to queen. Oh boy.
Sugarloaf Theatre founder and director Seamus Schwaba, age 17 (only 15 when he began the theater), and cast have been working hard (while laughing a lot) during rehearsals to ready this zany production Schwaba refers to as loaded with “lots of imagination. It’s over the top. It’s whacky, goofy and weird …” in good ways, of course. Among cast members pulling off all this drama: Chloe Bronk as Alice, Mary Stoltman as the White Queen, Anne Williams as the Red Queen, Melissa Wangan as Tweedle Dum, and Peyton Wicklund as Tweedle Dee.
Sugarloaf Theatre strives to create a positive theater environment for actors and audience alike. Recent offerings even included a workshop on how to comfortably audition. Perhaps seeing this show and the easy camaraderie and fun shared by the cast will encourage you to step up and audition for the next play. Not all productions are musicals though, so don’t worry if you can’t carry a tune or think you’re too young or old. At the very least, you’ll sit back and enjoy a fun-packed hour of this energetic sequel to Alice in Wonderland playing at Cornerstone Community Church.
Through the Looking Glass will be performed at Cornerstone Community Church in Goodview on August 15 at 6 pm, August 16 at 6 pm, and August 17 at 2 pm.
