DLUX Puppets' Wonderland (School Matinee)
Presented by Diablo Regional Arts Association

- Location: Lesher Center for the Arts
1601 Civic Drive
Walnut Creek, California 94596 - Introduction: Best for Kindergarten through 3rd grade, with tickets starting at $15.
"A fun musical adaptation with actors, high-quality puppetry and digitally projected scenery the whole family will enjoy!"
With remarkable life-sized puppetry, digital scenery (Live Virtual Set™ by Steve Axtell), and the clever use of well-known hit songs, the classic tale of Alice’s journey through the marvelous world of the Cheshire Cat, Mad Hatter, Caterpillar, Tweedle Dee, Tweedle Dum and the Queen of Hearts becomes a fun musical adaptation for the whole family.
In this visually engaging production, all of the characters who encounter Alice are intricately engineered life size puppets, hand built, performed and voiced by DLUX Puppets’ founder Derek Lux. Alice is played by Lauren Lux, his wife, DLUX Puppets’ Education Director and active elementary school teacher who developed a performance activity kit for students who attend the show.
While the production is designed to teach children how to use the power of their words, thoughts and feelings in a positive way, above all else, DLUX Puppet’s Wonderland is a feast for the eyes and an afternoon of family fun.
The original production made its debut in May 2017 at the Lesher Center for the Arts in Walnut Creek, California.
approx. 60 minutes with no intermission
