Middle School Magic: “Alice in Wonderland: Down the Rabbit Hole” Takes Center Stage!
Article by Mr. Gabe Saienni, Middle & Upper School theater Educator and Director
ODA’s talented "Alice in Wonderland: Down The Rabbit Hole" (“Alice”) cast and crew have diligently prepared to transport their audiences into the whimsical world of Wonderland. Under the guidance of Director Mr. Gabe Saienni and Technical Director Ms. Jasmine Deal, the students have grown not only as actors and crew members, but also as individuals. They discovered their strengths, developed teamwork, and embraced the power of imagination.
The story of Alice and the inhabitants of Wonderland will come to life through the hard work and dedication of these young actors. This timeless tale is a perfect choice for our Middle Schoolers, as it encourages the exploration of their creativity and teaches important life lessons about curiosity, resilience, and individuality.
“Alice” is a true showcase of the talent and commitment of our students,” said Mr. Saienni. “They have been rehearsing tirelessly to create and develop their characters, creating beautiful, mesmerizing sets, and putting together all of the technical elements for this production. It has been a heartwarming experience to watch them come together to tell this beloved story–I am so glad this got to be my first, of many, productions at ODA.
“I hope you attend this production–and be sure to invite your family and friends. This will be a show full of wonder and enchantment that you won't want to miss. Join us as we fall down the rabbit hole and into the magical world of "Alice in Wonderland."
The Arts program and ODA’s Arts Alliance, is grateful for the continued support we receive from our community. We look forward to seeing you in The Black Box Theater for the opening production of the 2023-2024 theater season! Click for photos
