Event Details

Jane Shamaeva for Actors Ensemble

Actors Ensemble’s first production of our 2026 Summer Season in the beautiful John Hinkel Park Amphitheater is “Alice in Wonderland”, adapted by Brainerd Duffield from the book by Lewis Carroll and directed by Michael Sally. Free-of-charge, reservations encouraged (especially for those in wheelchairs or with limited mobility) but not necessary. Presented Saturdays/Sundays & holidays beginning Friday, July 3rd through Sunday July 19th, 2026, all at 4 p.m.

“Alice in Wonderland” is the classic tale of young Alice – who follows the White Rabbit into a magical and mystifying world of March Hare’s, Cheshire Cats, Mock Turtles, and Mad Hatters – among other classic characters who have enchanted young and old since Lewis Carroll first wrote down these tales to amuse himself and Alice. Join us this summer as we fall down the rabbit hole together!
