Holden Salica, Juju Napier, Julia Darling Snook act out "Sick to Death of Alice-ness"

From the team that brought you Mean Girls: The Musical last summer, Southern Arizona Performing Arts Company and The Inner Voice Studio are collaborating in a BIG way to bring innovative, unconventional, and immersive theater to the Tucson community.

Alice by Heart is a stirring indie-folk musical inspired by “Alice in Wonderland” that asks serious questions about the purpose of art in hard times, escapism and grief.

In Alice by Heart, teens are taking shelter in an underground train station during the London bombing blitz of 1941. In order to distract themselves, they take on familiar characters, including the White Rabbit, the Mad Hatter, Caterpillar, Cheshire Cat and Queen of Hearts and use found objects as props. As they travel through the tale, Alice by Heart explores the poignancy of first love, coming to terms with loss, and finding the courage to move forward. This musical encourages us all to celebrate the transformational power of the imagination, even in the harshest of times.
