Family Friendly: Alice talks about her trip to Wonderland
Emily Rohm portrays Alice in the Marriott Theatre for Yioung Audiences' "Alice in Wonderland."
It’s not easy being plunged into an unfamiliar world but a young girl does her best to cope in “Alice in Wonderland,” March 14-May 18, at Marriott Theatre for Young Audiences, 10 Marriot Drive, Lincolnshire. We spoke with Alice (aka actor Emily Rohm) about her adventures.
Q: What was your first impression of Wonderland?
Alice: It was very different from home but at first I loved everything. Then I longed for home and had to find a way back.
Q: Why do you think the March Hare is always in such a hurry?
A: He’s always worried about something, always losing things and always late.
Q: What did you think of the tea party you attended?
A: It was confusing and crazy but fun.
Q: Do you think that there’s hope for the Queen or is she always going to be mean?
A: I think there’s hope for everyone.
