Every time Children’s Theatre Company mounts a production of Lewis Carroll’s classic tale, it inevitably expands whatever boundaries of imagination and artistry are left to explore. Raising the bar on the spectacular, iconic shows of yore, CTC is once again re-imagining the story from the bottom up, likely redefining it for a new generation of Twin Citians. No theater in the country does Alice better.
