Alice Runs Amok
Want to foster a love of the arts in your child? Have a
budding actor running around the house? Just need to get the
kids out for an hour?
The UO’s Mad Duckling Children’s Theatre is your ticket.
First up in Eugene’s traditional summer theater series
at Amazon Park is Willard Simms’ adaptation of Alice in
Wonderland. This half-hour production of the 1865 classic novel,
directed by Tricia Rodley, hits the highlights and adds audience
interaction to boot.
Alice, which starts at 11am on select days now through
July 21, is widely appealing to the very youngest viewer. The
nonsense and absurdity fi nd a welcome audience in the toddler
and sun-hat crew, but maintain the interest of the fi rst- and
second-grade patrons as well.
Costumes looks as through they are pulled out of a magical
trunk — some are amazing, some make do — giving the show an
air of theatrical charm. Kids seemed to particularly enjoy the
JULY 10-14 & JULY 17-21
elaborate, Elvis-inspired caterpillar. The Tree/Queen of Hearts
was awesome.
Performers span the gap between actor and child-care
provider as they coax audience participation and establish
characters. Antonia Gomez leads the show nicely as the
narrator, ably making the quick change into a very mad Mad
Hatter. Shannon McInally’s modern Alice, who has a magnifi cent
snore, entrances children. And actors John Jeffrey, Cameron
Walker and Martin Diaz-Valdes look like they’re having as much
fun as the audience. Even stage manager Charles Van Duyn is
dressed up as a charming Cheshire Cat as he manipulates props.
Bring a blanket, plenty of snacks and celebrate summer with
Mad Duckling.
Alice in Wonderland plays 11 am July 12-14 and July 17-21 at
Amazon Park; $5 for ages 3 and over; for further information,
email madduckling@uoregon.edu or call 346-4204.
