Ketron Elementary's Drama Club Presented Alice @ Wonderland |
On May 12, 2014 Ketron Elementary's Drama Club presented Alice @ Wonderland. They presented this performance 3 times that day: 9:00 am for PreK - 2nd grade, 1:00 pm for 3rd - 5th grade, and at 7:00 pm for the public. This adventure into Wonderland is what would happen when Lewis Carol's Alice collides with the 21st century. This modern retelling of the classic children's story had all of the characters that we know and love but with a modern take. The story was laid out in traditional style, except that Alice was distinctly contemporary. Ketron's Drama Club was lead by Mrs. Rebecca Droke and Mrs. Elizabeth Light with sets being done by Mr. David Meade and Mrs. Holly Hughes, from the art department. The Ketron Drama Club is comprised of 4th and 5th grade students.
