On March 8, Corban University Theatre’s “Alice” opened for its premiere performance. Written and directed by alumna Rachel Ost, the show brings Lewis Carroll’s characters to life in a world eerily reminiscent of our own.
“Truly, I do not like the book Alice in Wonderland.” Coming from Corban alumna Rachel Ost, the statement is a bit surprising. After all, Alice in Wonderland was the inspiration behind her very first full-length show, Alice—the show she’s directing at Corban University this spring.
“He don’t know one note from another—he can’t tell a bass drum from a pipe organ!”
While this may be true of con man Harold Hill (of Meredith Willson’s “The Music Man”), it certainly isn’t true of the Corban University cast and orchestra who’ve collaborated to put on this spectacular show.
