Project: Wonderland Thursday, January 7, 2010
The Reverend Charles Dodgeson, a.k.a. Alice in Wonderland author Lewis Carroll, put the "trip" in trippy when he first sent Alice down the rabbit hole, and now Bootleg Theater promises to make that trip the trippiest yet. In Project: Wonderland, writer-director Robert Prior combines choreography by Ken Roht (99c Only Calendar Girl Competition), puppetry by Lynn Jeffries (The Gogol Project), and an original score by Indira Stephannia to create a visionary phantasmagoria. The Bootleg crew's offbeat homage transforms the original text into a "dreamlike, ever-morphing carnival of wonder, mystery, grotesquery and mischief." No hallucinogens required. Bootleg Theater, 2220 Beverly Blvd., L.A.; opens Sat., Jan. 9, 8 p.m.; perfs Thurs.-Sat., 8 p.m.; Sun., 3 p.m.; thru Jan. 31; $25, $15 students & seniors. (323) 833-1567.
