This adventure through cyberspace is a battle between technology and imagination! The story begins in the home of a couple of ordinary kids when their babysitters are sucked into a video game. To rescue them, the kids must figure out how to get "into the game" where they discover that their babysitters are not the only ones in trouble! Chasm, an evil sorceress, is draining all the imagination and color out of cyberspace and soon there will be nothing left. The kids enlist the aid of the rebellious Space Pirates to stop Chasm, rescue their babysitters and restore peace and harmony to the universe. In the end, the kids use their imaginations as a weapon to defeat Chasm and finally return home.Instructor: Christina Halleran and Rebecca Grzselo, Covered Bridge Playhouse

Teen Theater presents Alice @ WonderlandTeen Theater presents Alice @ WonderlandTinley Park Performing Arts Center16801 S 80th AveTinley Park, IL 60477708-342-4200By Jonathan Yukich
What would happen if a 21st century Alice collided with Lewis Carroll’s legendary Wonderland? This modern retelling of the children’s classic has the characters you know and love, including the Mad Hatter, the White Rabbit and the Queen of Hearts. The story is laid out in traditional style, except that Alice is distinctly contemporary, complete with cell phone in hand. This sharply told, crisply paced adaptation has been praised for its humor, modern style, and appeals to everyone.Instructor: Christina Halleran
