Amoss Center
200 Thomas Run Road
Bel Air, MD 21015

Join us for “Alice: Dreaming of Wonderland” on Friday, May 3 at 7:30 PM in the Amoss Center in Bel Air.

Get ready to experience an amazing journey in the crazy world of Wonderland! Based on the classic by Lewis Carroll, “Alice” is an action-packed theatrical circus full of surprises, amazing acts, video projection with 3-D mapping and live music. Alice’s adventures are a manifesto to fantasy and free spirit, as well as a profound philosophy towards respecting all opinions, including those that may be different from your own.

Imagine the March Hare balancing on a tower of chairs during a tea party or The Mad Hatter playing crazy instruments or Alice performing acrobatics inside a giant keyhole!

“Dreaming of Wonderland” features an international cast of veteran performers from across Europe and North America, including acrobats, a 4-member hand-to-hand balancing act, a one-man band, and a new art form creating original creations with smoke and bubbles.

So, follow the White Rabbit, pass through the keyhole and join us at the Tea Party, remember that you don’t need to look for meaning, after all . . .” we’re all mad here!”

Tickets are $25-$35. To purchase tickets, visit https://www.harfordevents.com/ or stop by the Ticket Office in Darlington Hall on the Harford Community College campus. For disability-related accommodations, please call 443.412.2211 at least two weeks in advance.
