Possum Point Players
prepare for 'Wonderland'
Possum Point Players is prepar-
ing for its next production, "Alice
in Wonderland," sponsored by
Delaware National Bank. The
play is being produced by the
Possum Juniors, the teenage-arm
of the Players. All aspects of "Al-
ice" are being managed by
teenagers between 13 and 17. The
director, Luke Sizemore of
Georgetown, and the assistant di-
rector, Laura Belcot, also of
Georgetown, are both under 16.
"They may be young," said
Players' president John Hulse,
"but they are talented and organ-
ized." The classic tale of Alice's
adventures will bring many
beloved characters to life, includ-
ing Tweedledee and Tweedledum,
the Mad Hatter, the Queen and of
course, Alice. "This is a show for
the entire family," Hulse said.
"Starting with an exciting tea par-
ty one hour before each perform-
ance, we hope to transport our au-
dience into Wonderland as they
enter Possum Hall."
"Alice in Wonderland" will be
performed at 7 p.m, with the tea
party beginning at 6 p.m., July 21,
22, 28 and 29; and at 2 p.m., with
a 1 p.m. tea party, on July 23 and
30. Tickets are $6 each for nonre-
served seats, and the tea party is
an additional $4. Reservations
may be made by calling 856-
4560.
