DOT Productions present 'Finding Alice'

Many children love to read, and Miriam is no exception. She loves it so much that when the lights go off she just has to continue, and reading with the lights out is so much fun! The characters really come to life, it's just like they're talking to you.... hang on, maybe they are?

Wonderland is just moments away when you imagine, imagine, imagine... And if you've forgotten how to, this superb reworking of Lewis Carroll's fairytale will have that sorted in no time. After all, a little imagination goes a long way in Wonderland...

Finding Alice is a fun packed family show based on the Lewis Carroll books, with music, sing-along-songs, plenty of audience interaction and the characters we all know and love!

Join Miriam on her quest to get her book back as she enters Wonderland and meets the Mad Hatter, White Rabbit and more. And, most importantly, will she ever find Alice?

Soon nothing is as it seems in this comic thriller, full of intrigue, jealousy and brilliant one-liners.

During his final lecture on the duality of humankind, the respectable Dr Jekyll reveals his strange association with the mysterious Edward Hyde and the shocking truth about his identity: that Hyde, unlike other human beings, is not only fundamentally evil, but also the very definition of it. Combining edge-of-your-seat thrills with stunning physical theatre, Robert Louis Stevenson's classic "bogey tale" is brought chillingly to life in this ground-breaking one-man show.

    Theatre now fully accessible to all

    Sheppey Little Theatre is now fully accessible for wheelchair users and others with mobility problems. Entry to the theatre foyer is via a ramp, theatre staff operate a lift to take patrons to the auditorium with space for wheelchairs. There are disabled toilets in the bar area. This work has been completed thanks to the National Lottery (lift) and Grassroots (ramp). The toilets were funded by other fundraising and have been in the theatre for 18 months.

    Your little theatre

    Sheppey Little Theatre has been run by volunteers since 1975. The building is a lot older as it was opened as a church hall in 1891. It was purchased in 1969 for £1000 and after lots of hard work and help from many local businesses Sheppey Little Theatre was opened by the Minister for the Arts, Hugh Jenkins, MP on Saturday 25 October 1975.

    We rely on people supporting us by coming to see shows and those who are generous enough to make donations. Sheppey Little Theatre is run by the community for the community.
