We were in the audience for the final "preview" performance of Alice in Wonderland on May 2, 2013--and what an show it was! Our two children, ages 4 and 2, were utterly captivated (as were mom and dad!) by the staging, acting and music. The show was a delight, Alice was perfectly cast, and the ensemble was magnificent.

What's more, our experience at the Children's Theatre Company (our first; we hail from North Dakota) was a true delight. From cast members mingling with the audience before the show began (our son especially loved high-fiving and dancing with the Mad Hatter) to the interactive elements in the show (our daughter squealed with delight when bubbles began falling from the ceiling), to the warm, inviting, kid-friendly atmosphere where children are made to feel welcome and important, CTC is doing everything right when it comes to giving a child an accessible experience with the arts. Our two-year-old summed it up just after the curtain fell and the applause ended, exclaiming "Let's do that again!"

Indeed, we will make a point of it to "do that again" many times in the years to come!
