WKU Theatre & Dance will present its new show ‘Alice by Heart,’ beginning Saturday, Sept. 28, until Wednesday, October 2 in Russell Miller Theatre.
The show is based on the book of the same title written by Steven Sater and Jessie Nelson with music by Duncan Sheik and lyrics by Steven Sater.
According to lead actress Hanneh Kevorkian, senior performing arts major with a focus in musical theatre, the show follows a girl named Alice Spencer through her journey of attempting to save her childhood best friend by bringing themselves into the world of her favorite children’s book, “The Adventures of Alice in Wonderland.”
“This story is deeply rooted in the theme of acceptance, love, life and hope,” Kevorkian said.
Kevorkian is starring alongside her childhood best friend, Carter Luke, in a tale of hardship and perseverance.
“Being able to portray childhood best friends as childhood best friends has been incredibly special and has definitely deepened the connection between these characters,” Kevorkian said.
Tickets are on sale now on the Fine Arts Box Office page, with tickets being $21 for adults and $16 for seniors, 62+, and students. The show is recommended for ages 16 and up. Sunday’s show will begin at 2 p.m. with the others beginning at 7:30 p.m.
“This show invites the audience to join Alice in finding the hope where it seems there is none,” Kevorkian said.
