The Mount Pleasant High School Theatre department will compete in the District UIL One Act play competition with their newly imagined version of Alice in Wonderland. Set in a steampunk dream world, we meet most of the characters we remember from the original Alice in Wonderland – with a few changes.

Director of Theatre, Dr. Edward Lee, noted, “This isn’t the Alice you might have grown up with. She is certainly vulnerable, but she is also tough and capable of taking care of herself. The cast is working hard to make this a new twist on the old classic.”

The cast features Sadera Lampard as Alice, Dawson Hernandez as the Mad Hatter, Jeffrey Bond as Mouse, Dormouse, Rabbit, and King, Gracie Martinez as Lory, Summer Murillo as Crab and Hare, Kevin Mendoza as Duck and Mushroom, Silvia Sustaita as Tom and Caterpillar, Dani Palomo as Saskia and Red Queen, Luis Garcia as Gary, Humpty, and Mushroom, Jai Luke as Frog and Dodo, Saray Delarosa as Cheshire Cat and White Knight, Talyn Reeves as White Queen, Alice’s Sister, and Duchess, and Joey Dunn as a Soloist and in the Chorus.

The Crew includes Assistant Director and Sound Operator Nayeli Rivera with Lighting provided by Isabella Castillo.

The District One Act Play competition will take place on Tuesday, March 7 at Hallsville High School. The MPHS Theatre department is directed by Dr. Edward Lee.
