Alice Through the Looking Glass, presented by Geordie Productions.

Geordie: Through the looking glass and into a designer’s dreams

Ana Cappelluto can turn a nondescript mound into an alien planet fit for a prince, oil barrels into barricades upon which one might sit and contemplate world peace, and sports equipment into mechanical caterpillar parts best approached following a tumble down a rabbit hole.

Review: Les Pieds des anges

A young woman who has chosen the feet of angels in Renaissance painting as the subject of her thesis splits into two personalities in Evelyne de la Chenelière’s latest play, Les Pieds des anges. One half of Marie is extroverted and mature, the other introverted and immature.

Hairspray is the ultimate, all-singing, all-dancing, all-inclusive comedic musical musical.
