Alice At The Atlas

From the press release:
Alice
at the Atlas

So you think being rich will get you a giant house, fun times, lots of great friends, and everything that money can buy? Smart and sassy young Alice believes it will, in this adaptation of Whoopi Goldberg’s delightful children’s book brought to the stage by Minneapolis playwright Kim Hines. After many nights filled with dreams of fame and fortune, Alice can hardly believe it when she is the winner of a mysterious sweepstakes!

This Saturday, September 30 at 11am and 1pm, the brand-new Atlas Performing Arts Center on H Street will open its doors to families for a touring Kennedy Center production of Alice by Whoopie Goldberg, an updated, retelling of Alice in Wonderland.

The Atlas was a dilapidated and abandoned old movie theatre and has been reinvented as a state-of-the-art center for arts and education. The Atlas project is largely responsible for spurring the rapid growth and revitalization of H Street NE.

Tickets are $12 and can be purchased by either calling the box office 399-7993 or online at www.atlasarts.org

The Atlas Performing Arts Center is located at 1333 H Street NE
