Discover the Enchanting World of Alice In Wonderland Jr.
With North Fork School's Performing Arts Program
Disney’s Alice in Wonderland JR. is playing at North Fork School’s Kennedy Hall from April 24th and 25th and May 1st and 2nd at 6:30pm. Dinner is available for purchase before all shows beginning at 5:30pm. The zany 60-minute musical, designed for middle school-aged performers, is based on the 1951 Disney film and the novels by Lewis Carroll. Our Kindergarten to 8th grade company includes 45 students led by volunteers Lindsey Hanson, Cassidy Jones, and Caitlin Netzley.
“This cast has shown dedication, determination, focus, and fun. They are ready to take you on an A-D-V-E-N-T-U-R-E to Wonderland,” said Caitlin Netzley.
Fall down the rabbit hole with Alice as she navigates the curious world of Wonderland on her journey of self-discovery. Along her adventure, Alice encounters the ever-tardy White Rabbit, the grinning Cheshire Cats, a cooler than cool Caterpillar, the wacky Mad Hatter and zany March Hare, a temperamental Queen and her doting King, and many more beloved Wonderland characters in this charming, updated retelling of the classic Lewis Carroll stories. Adapted especially for young performers, the musical includes favorite songs from the Disney canon such as “I’m Late,” “The Unbirthday Song,” and “Painting the Roses Red,” in addition to music from the 2010 Tim Burton live-action film. Whether this is your first experience with Alice or your hundredth, you’ll lose your head (and your heart) for Alice in Wonderland JR.!
Tickets can be purchased at the door with no advanced reservations required.

North Fork School Performing Arts Program is a volunteer-lead, school-based extracurricular program. While
performances have been a longstanding tradition at North Fork School, the Performing Arts Program in its current iteration began in 2018 with financial support from the North Fork School Parent Teacher Group (PTG) which continues to be the primary source of financial support towards this program. Director Caitlin Netzley came on-board in 2019 with musical direction from Amy Duke. Since that time, Caitlin Netzley has continued her direction with support from multiple teams of amazing volunteers. The current directing trio of Lindsey Hanson, Cassidy Jones, and Caitlin Netzley has been together for two productions and is already planning for next year’s show!
