Fun for all ages
Lauren Hirte plays Alice with Doug Hara, Tony Hernandez and Anthony Fleming III in "Lookingglass Alice," playing through March 27 in the Water Tower Works, 821 N. Michigan Ave. Alice falls, floats, flies, and defies gravity and the rules of logic on her quest to become a Queen. Marching across a wonderland chessboard, she meets a disappearing Cheshire Cat, a juggling Mad Hatter, two acrobatic Tweedles, a nine foot tall Queen of Hearts, a wall-walking Caterpillar, a precariously balancing Egg, and a bumbling Knight who invents his way into Alice's heart.
