Come see the MMS Drama Performance of Looking Glass Land - an Alice in Wonderland Adventure at the Mabel Tainter Theater. Don't miss your chance to see these fantastic students in action - only 2 performances: Friday at 7pm and Saturday at 2pm.

This award-winning stage adaptation by renowned playwright James DeVita takes Lewis Carroll's original Through the Looking Glass and literally runs with it. This wild adaptation highlights and improvises on the pure, unadulterated fun of the story. The play still retains some of Carroll's deeper meanings, but what it possesses most of all is a huge helping of unabashed silliness!
