"When young Alice finds herself in a strange world where everything seems upside down, she must find her way home…and find herself along the way. As she travels through Wonderland, she encounters all of the iconic characters that audiences have come to love: including the ever-tardy White Rabbit, the grinning Cheshire Cat, a cool Caterpillar, the wacky Mad Hatter, and the hot-tempered Queen of Hearts.
Alice in Wonderland JR. features Disney favorites such as “The Golden Afternoon,” “The Unbirthday Song,” and “Painting the Roses Red” along with brand-new songs, including music from the 2010 live-action film. Whether this is your first experience with Alice or your hundredth, you’ll fall in love all over again with this timeless story of adventure, imagination, and pure fun!"
In 1988, Kathie Burgin had a vision to create a Children’s Workshop Theater during the summer vacation months. She was looking for a Children’s Theater opportunity for her daughter, Quinn. The closest Children’s Theater was located in Charlotte. Many students who came through Shelby High Theatre started in the children’s theater workshop.
Now named in her memory, the Kathie Burgin Children’s Workshop Theater is the 2nd longest running children’s theater in North Carolina. It is held each summer in Malcolm Brown Auditorium at Shelby High School. The workshop offers kids from across Cleveland County and its neighbors the opportunity to learn the art of theatre. By performing onstage in a musical production, kids overcome shyness, learn to accept constructive criticism, and build confidence. They also make friends and with those friends learn what it takes to create something bigger and more complex than anything they could create alone.
Each year, The Kathie Burgin Children's Theatre Workshop offers children in rising 3rd through 9th grades the opportunity to produce a musical in three weeks at the end of July. They can also sign up to learn about the different areas of technical theatre in two one-week sessions held in the afternoon during the first two weeks of the workshop.
