Broadway Training Center of Westchester to Present “Wonderland: Alice’s Rock & Roll Adventure” May 5- May 7 in Hastings-on- Hudson

Local Production Will Feature BTC’s Award-Winning Junior Ensemble, an invite- only performance program for students grades 4-9, from throughout Westchester.

HASTINGS-ON-HUDSON, NY – Broadway Training Center of Westchester (BTC), one of the region’s premier performing arts schools, will present “Wonderland: Alice’s Rock & Roll Adventure” May 5 through May 7 at Hastings High School in Hastings-on-Hudson, N.Y. The show will feature BTC’s award-winning Junior Ensemble consisting of advanced students (grades 4-9) from throughout Westchester.

How can you march to the beat of your own drummer when you’re still writing the song? With this musical! Chris Jones of The Chicago Tribune exclaims this show as “A refreshing, rockin’ take on the adventures of Ms. Alice, here rendered not as a dainty lady, but as an indie-like musician, as cool as the Cheshire Cat.” Join BTC this weekend as Lewis Carroll’s beloved tale of self-actualization is brought to vibrant life as seven 1/2-year-old Alice searches for her inner voice. Along the way, she meets new friends and faces challenges and fears, but in learning to believe in the impossible, Alice learns to believe in herself. Jones notes a vital part of this storytelling, adding that “Rare is the staging of an ‘Alice’ that so well links the heroine of the story with all her potential peers in the audience.”

With a faculty and production team of working professionals who have performed on Broadway and other top venues, BTC is well known for its high-quality productions and high- impact youth education work. The performance program, Ensemble, is BTC’s most intensive offering. It requires a rigorous rehearsal schedule, plus a yearlong commitment to technique courses in two of the three core disciplines of acting, dance, or voice. The program is by Entrance Interview and Placement Audition, functioning as conservatory-style training in the most nurturing and professional environment.

For fifteen consecutive years, the school and its students have won over 90 National Youth Arts Awards, including Outstanding Ensemble! In addition, Westchester Magazine has lauded “BTC theater classes as the best in Southern Westchester.” Westchester Family has named it “Best Children’s Theater Company,” and BroadwayWorld dubbed BTC the “Best Dance Studio of The Decade!”
