Alice in Wonderland at The Whiting

Bring the family to The Whiting this Friday, March 6, to see DLUX Puppets Alice in Wonderland, a fun musical adaptation with actors, high-quality puppetry and digitally projected scenery the whole family will enjoy!

With remarkable puppetry and clever digital scenery (Live Virtual Set™ by Steve Axtell), the classic tale of Alice’s journey through the marvelous world of the Cheshire Cat, Mad Hatter, Caterpillar, Tweedle Dee, Tweedle Dum and the Queen of Hearts becomes a fun musical adaptation for the whole family.

In this visually engaging production, all of the characters who encounter Alice are intricately engineered life-size puppets, hand built and voiced by DLUX Puppet’s founder Derek Lux. Derek is a multi-talented performer who stars in “Beach Blanket Babylon” in San Francisco at night while building puppets during the day. His wife, second grade teacher Lauren Lux, is DLUX Puppets’ education director and has developed a performance activity kit for students who attend the show. “Alice in Wonderland” made its debut in May 2017 in Walnut Creek.

While the production is designed to teach children how to use the power of their words, thoughts and feelings in a positive way, above all else, DLUX Puppet’s “Alice in Wonderland” is a feast for the eyes and an afternoon of family fun.

This program and/or service is funded in whole or in part by the Genesee County Arts Education and Cultural Enrichment Millage funds. Your tax dollars at work. For more information, visit: https://www.thewhiting.com/events/detail/dlux-puppets-alice-in-wonderland

Community to the CoreFor generations, Almar Orchards has grown more than apples — it has grown family traditions, community connections and memories

Everyone has roots. Traditions, communities and families connect us to time, place and one another. They stabilize us and offer comfort. Autumn reminds us of this every year through sweet treats, warm drinks and looking inward toward one another as the world seems to slow down. Almar Orchards is much the same. From its organic
