Little Theatre on the Bay, presents ‘Big Bad’ & ‘Dorothy Meets Alice’, Show dates and times, February 10-26, Friday and Saturday 7pm, Sunday 2pm. Dorothy Meets Alice is a new play version of the delightful meeting of two of literature’s most famous young ladies unfolds when a young man puts off a book report till the last minute, then suddenly finds himself in a strange place somewhere between Oz and Wonderland. It then becomes his responsibility to unscramble the stories and steer the familiar characters—the Cowardly Lion, the Mad atter, the Scarecrow and the White Rabbit, among others—to their ultimate destinations while avoiding the Wicked Witch and the Red Queen. This hilarious, adventuresome romp is filled with laughter and surprises at every turn. And a couple of lessons emerge along the way as well. In Big Bad is the Wolf a villain or victim? The Three Pigs: innocent or at fault? The Jurors, Miss Muffet, Bo Peep, Cinderella and Humpty-Dumpty, are they solid citizens or characters with a past? Is justice on his side—or does he have a secret to hide? The answers to these profound questions and even more are revealed once and for all in this rollicking, fun-filled, action-packed trial-of-the-century. This adventurous play examines the guilt, or innocence, of the accused from different points of view and comes up with a surprising, yet eminently satisfying, conclusion in which no one escapes unscathed. And, as a bonus, a lesson or two is learned along the way. Opening night performance special pricing to benefit the Oregon Coast Community Action is $5 and 3 cans of food.
