• ASC Kids’ Club presents "Alice’s (Even Bigger) Tea Party"
  05/02/09

  Saturday, May 2, 2009 at 1 p.m.

  For those who came to the original "Alice's Tea Party" and for those who heard about it and wished that you had come... good news!  An even better, even bigger, even grander "Alice's Tea Party" is on the way. Presented on stage in the Sirote Theatre (and we do mean on stage, audience members will join the party there), the original inhabitants of the Tea Party will be joined by more of Lewis Carol's laughable and lovable characters. Witten and directed by ASC's own Jerry Sims.
