Alice: The Trail to Wonderland

Tickets On Sale Now!

An Immersive Theatrical Experience

Beginning this Saturday, audiences are invited on a magical journey through a strange land as Lachat Farm in Weston, Connecticut is transformed into the immersive theatrical experience, ALICE: A Trail to Wonderland.

ALICE: The Trail to Wonderland — is an immersive, mad, and playful 1980s inspired reimagining of Alice in Wonderland. Filled with both original music and familiar hits - this is not your grandmother’s Alice! 

After a heated argument with her parents, 15-year-old Alice runs to her sanctuary among the daisies and falls asleep. She is woken by a huge White Rabbit that she follows down the rabbit hole into a totally awesome and super weird world. Teeming with the most curious yet strangely familiar characters, Alice is whisked away on a vibrant, music-fueled journey of self-discovery, magic, and madness, ending in a bodacious UnBirthday Party festival for everyone!

So grab your hair spray and hammer pants, we’re going on a rad adventure!

The indoor/outdoor, 1 hour, theatrical experience takes place across the entire farm— throughout the houses and barns, over rolling hills and through forest paths. The theatrical experience is recommended for ages 5 - 100. Children 16 and under must be accompanied by an adult. This is not a drop off event, no exceptions. This is not a "sit down" theatrical experience so please be prepared for a vigorous walk and wear weatherproof comfortable shoes, appropriate for hills and farm terrain.
