MVPAA staging ‘Alice in Wonderland Jr.’
The Mon Valley Performing Arts Academy will wrap up its 2019 summer theater experience for young performers with a fully staged production of Disney’s “Alice in Wonderland Jr.”
The show will take place at 4 p.m. July 27 in Steele Hall Mainstage Theatre on the Cal U campus.
Hosted by the university’s Department of Music and Theatre, the academy, now in its 22nd year, gives students ages 8 to 17 an opportunity to study musical theater. After acting, voice and dance classes, technical theater learning and rehearsals, students present a musical complete with stage sets, costumes and props.
More than 40 MVPs — Mon Valley Performers — are participating in this year’s academy, which began Monday. Students study and rehearse from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays.
Disney’s “Alice in Wonderland Jr.” is a fast-paced take on the classic story of a girl who disappears down a rabbit hole to a fantastic place full of bizarre adventures.
