WAYNESBORO, VA (Rocktown Now) – The Wayne Theatre presents a Studio Wayne production of “Alice by Heart” on Saturday, April 12, 2025, at 7:00 PM, and Sunday, April 13, 2025, at 2:00 PM.

According to the Wayne Theatre website, “Alice by Heart” is a reimagining of the classic Wonderland tale unfolds in the midst of the World War II London Blitz, where two friends, Alice and Alfred, discover how imagination can help them cope with hardship, loss, and the uncertainty of the future.

The production features Studio Wayne students, which is an arts education program for young actors to learn more about performing and theater experience.

Director Corey Holmes said he sees a resonance between the show’s wartime setting and the challenges young people face today.

“The characters in this story are living in the London underground, unsure what the future holds. That’s a universal feeling, especially for younger generations. They connected with the show’s themes so naturally.”
