Lewis Carroll meets Russell T. Davies in this collision of the sci-fi and fantasy worlds!
Set in a steampunk version of Carroll's well-known world, Don Zolidis’ parody has Dr. What and his companion Cara crashing into Wonderland. When the two are separated they meet all the usual suspects, mainly the Queen of Hearts, who is ready to chop off the heads of anyone who crosses her. It’s up to the time-traveling duo to escape and get their phone booth fixed before it’s off with their heads!

"What are Make Believe
& Beyond
Classes?"
Make Believe & Beyond is BackStory's unique approach to a skill and style in theatre known as "devising". Simply put, it is the collaborative reimagining of an idea, story, or collection of stories, told on stage. This format offers us a truly awesome opportunity to encourage exploration by students of all skill levels and interests in the theatrical world. The core skill of teamwork is combined with working memory and creative reasoning as we embrace each student's unique storytelling abilities, build confidence and encourage skill acquisition. Give it a try!
