Davidsonville Girl Stars as Alice in 'Alice in Wonderland'

A 10-year-old from Davidsonville is set to shine next weekend as she takes on the theatrical role of Alice in the Children's Theatre of Annapolis' (CTA) production of Alice in Wonderland Jr. 

Chrissy Scott, 10, attends Davidsonville Elementary and will portray the medium-sized Alice throughout the production. 

As reported on Broadneck Patch, the production's director Dylan Roche casted three different Alice's to maximize the effect of her character's size transformations.

"[This will] maximize the effect of Alice shrinking and growing as she drinks from a bottle and eats a cookie at the advice of the Door Knob," according to a CTA release.

The changing sizes is exactly where Chrissy comes in. She'll be playing the part of the medium-sized Alice along with Emily Small, 9, from Crofton Elementary and Ella Green, 12, from the Severn School, according to The Baltimore Sun. 

In The Sun's article, Chrissy performed each of her choreographed moves flawlessly during rehearsal this week. 

Alice in Wonderland Jr. will be performed on April 13, 14, 20 and 21 at 7:30 p.m. and April 14, 15, 21 and 22 at 2 p.m. at the Children's Theatre of Annapolis (CTA), located at 1661 Bay Head Rd. in Annapolis.

An American Sign Language Interpretation of the show will be provided at 2 p.m. on April 14. 

Tickets are $15, $12 for children 12 and younger, and adults 60 and older.  Group rates are available for 10 or more attending the same show.
