Malice in Wonderland

For the 39th Master Mystery Production, guests passed through the looking glass and fell down the rabbit hole to encounter the wacky world of Wonderland. When Alice is put on trial, it’s up to the audience as her jury to see what ever upside-down justice can be achieved.

After an excellent game of chess, Alice is to be promoted to queen as she has successfully maneuvered to the eighth rank on the Looking-Glass chessboard. A mad tea party has been prepared in her honor to celebrate her coronation. Or is it her trial? You see, the special jam tarts baked especially for her coronation have been stolen! And Alice is in a real jam when she’s caught literally red-handed! Accused of high treason for the crime of spoiling her dinner, Alice must stand trial in a wacky courtroom filled with even wackier witnesses from her Wonderland days. With the audience as her jury, Alice must plead her innocence before the judge rules a sentence before the verdict. Is it off with her head, or will she go off her head? In a magical, storybook location where the clock is always at tea time, the rules are better read backwards, and the characters are more than a little mad, Malice in Wonderland will keep you on your toes and constantly guessing as accusations, confessions, and heads fly. With games to play and enchanted places to explore, by the end of the night, you just might believe six impossible things before breakfast.
