Tufts University’s Magic Circle Theatre presents the first of four productions of “Alice in Wonderland.” In this endearing version Lewis Carroll’s memorable story, Alice is cautioned by the White Rabbit to take good care of the Queen’s tarts, which are to be served shortly at the croquet match. While Alice’s back is turned, the tarts are stolen. Alice, realizing that the White Rabbit will lose his head if the tarts are not discovered in time, goes in search of the thief. Her quest leads her through a maze of incredible and suspenseful adventures.

Tickets are $10 through the Tufts online ticket office. Additional performances are at 7 p.m. on Thursday, July 28; 2 p.m. on Tuesday, August 2; and 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, August 4.

Magic Circle Theater is New England’s oldest theater by and for children and is a great opportunity to introduce children to theater. It will also present four performances of “Charlotte’s Web” at the Balch Arena Theatre from August 1-4.
