A whimsical walking tour through the Rose Garden!
Ensemble Member Matt Prideaux and the Touchstone/Moravian MFA class of 2024 present a merry and family friendly adventure into Wonderland.
All the citizens of Wonderland have heard tales of the beautiful city of Bethlehem, and that it just might be the best city in all of the world. So, they have decided to open up a portal to their world, right here in the Bethlehem Rose Garden. You have been invited to explore and learn about Wonderland and teach them a thing or two about Bethlehem in return.
You will take on the role of the Audience of Listening, Interacting, and Creating Explorers, or A.L.I.C.E.s, and be led on a guided tour through Wonderland. However, right as your grand tour is about to commence, we learn some dastardly news – someone has stolen the Queen’s tarts! So now, you, our A.L.I.C.E.s are tasked with tracking down the perpetrator of this wicked deed and bringing forth evidence to present to the royal court. Will you be able to solve this crime, or will it be off with everyone’s heads?

- The performance takes place at the Bethlehem Rose Garden at W Union Blvd &, 725 8th Ave, Bethlehem, PA 18018
- There is a parking lot available at Truist Bank, as well as across the street at Nitschmann Middle School. Additionally there is free street parking all around the Rose Garden and throughout the nearby streets.

- Sunscreen highly recommended, bug repellant optional.

[Image description: Four performers emerging from a thick leafy bush. They all have shocked/amazed/bewildered expressions on their faces and are looking up at the words “Alice in Bethlehem”. These words appear on torn up scraps of paper and are in alternating red and black letters against a faded, warping, checkerboard background. Amongst all the letters are images that evoke Alice in Wonderland – a mushroom, the Mad Hatter’s hat, a tea kettle, a bottle labeled “Drink Me”, a crown, a cupcake, some flowers, etc. The performers are dressed in wild and wacky outfits evocative of a strange, different, and fantastical world.]
