Dandylyon Drama and Melvin G. Syre Elementary PTA present The Amazing Ever Changing Alice in Wonderland
Wednesday, November 18, 2015
Sixty-two students from Melvin G. Syre Elementary School will perform in the musical theatre production, The Amazing Ever Changing Alice in Wonderland, at 7:00pm on December 4th and 5th at the Shorewood High Performing Arts Center, 17300 Fremont Ave N, in Shoreline.
The production is the third between Dandylyon Drama and Melvin G. Syre Elmentary and features the largest cast to date.
“We are creating a strong drama tradition at Syre Elementary,” says Michele Chomos Peijs who, along with Preston Moore, serves as the co-producer for the play on behalf of the Syre PTA.
The Amazing Ever Changing Alice in Wonderland is based upon the book by Lewis Carroll, but music and script is an original work by local playwright Melani Lyons and composter Rob Jones. Dandylyon Drama, a local non-profit, partners with parents, teachers, the Associated Student Body (ASB), or Parent Teacher Association (PTA) groups to bring performing arts programs into local elementary schools.
“This is an educational experience for all our young actors,” said Melani Lyons, founder and director for Dandylyon Drama. “We make sure that each child is in a ‘feature’ scene or song and has ample opportunity to learn the fundamentals of musical theatre.”
Tickets can be purchased at the door and in advance through Brown Paper Tickets.
