Rose Children's Theatre presents Alice in Wonderland Jr. at The Richard E. Wildish Community Theater, 630 Main St. Springfield, OR.

Fall down the rabbit hole with Alice as she navigates the curious world of Wonderland on her journey of self-discovery. Along her adventure, Alice encounters the ever-tardy White Rabbit, the grinning Cheshire Cat, a cool Caterpillar, the wacky Mad Hatter, a temperamental Queen, and many more beloved Wonderland characters in this charming updated retelling of the classic Lewis Carroll stories. Adapted especially for young performers, the musical includes favorite songs from the Disney canon such as “I’m Late,” “The Unbirthday Song,” and “Painting the Roses Red,” in addition to music from the 2010 Tim Burton live-action film. Whether this is your first experience with Alice or your hundredth, you’ll lose your head (and your heart) for Alice in Wonderland JR.!

Springfield, OR – Join Springfield Public Library for a free showing of the magical thriller The Prestige at 6:30 p.m., Wednesday, May 14th at the Wildish Community Theater in downtown Springfield.

About the movie:
Robert and Alfred are both talented magicians plying their trade in 19th Century London. Soon, they become bitter rivals when Robert’s wife dies during a stage performance and blames Alfred for her death. Now both magicians escalate their feud by raising the risks of their opposing magic shows and sabotaging each other at every turn. Starring a superstar packed cast of Hugh Jackman, Scarlet Johansson, Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Andy Serkis and David Bowie, this slick arcane thriller is one of Christopher Nolen’s unsung gems.
