Rousuck's Review: ----Lookingglass Alice---- at Center Stage

It's Thursday, and time for our weekly visit from theater critic J. Wynn Rousuck, who joins us today with a review of Lookingglass Alice, the new spin on the Lewis Carroll classic that's now on the boards at Baltimore's Center Stage.In this modern re-telling (which is suitable for audiences of all ages), Alice is a young African-American girl (played by Markita Prescott), who falls through the Looking Glass and finds herself on a journey of self-discovery. Along the way, she encounters the familiar and the fantastical, and comes face to face with the intimidating Red Queen (played by Patrice Covington), along with a surreal parade of oddities who challenge Alice to stand strong and speak her mind.Lookingglass Alice, directed by Jeremy Cohen and with costumes by David Burdick, continues at Baltimore's Center Stage through Sunday, December 31st.
