PARENTAL ADVISORY: Although this play features child actors, it is not children’s theatre and is not appropriate for young children. Not suitable for children under 11.

A child’s house burns down, leaving everyone and everything she has behind. From this moment, a singular journey begins. 600 Highwaymen’s Employee of the Year brings together five young girls in an attempt to probe what it means to grow up and ask how people become who they are. What do we lose and what do we search for? Combining an arresting theatrical style with original songs by Obie Award-winner David Cale, this work intimately investigates the process of transformation over the course of lifetime, acted with the innocence and knowing of young girls who are not ashamed by feelings and therefore make us less ashamed of our own.

Location: Greenbelt Community Center Gymnasium 15 Crescent Rd.

Journey With Alice to Wonderland where you will enter a “Caucus Race”, laugh at the antics of TweedleDee and TweedleDum, attend the zany Mad Hatter’s Tea Party, paint the roses red, play croquet with the Queen of Hearts and her jabberwocky raven, meet the mysterious Cheshire Cat, and rescue the Mad Hatter from the Red Queen when he goes on trial for stealing her tarts. Lewis Carroll’s “classic” tale is transformed as BTM meshes dance, theater, and music together to bring all of these whimsical characters to life through the power of dance.
