It's curtains up on a delightful new production from Steve Light,
whose intricate pen-and-ink style sets the stage for a romantic gesture
gone comically awry.
Lazlo is in love. He selects the perfect red rose and sets off to the
theater to present it to his beloved, an actress currently starring in
Alice in Wonderland. When a naughty cat snatches the flower, Lazlo
gives chase. Through the stage door, round and round backstage, through
the orchestra pit they go, wreaking havoc along the way. Readers are
treated to an array of delightful characters from Lewis Carroll's
classic, along with an insider's view of the workings of a majestic
theater. An author's note describes the numerous superstitions related
to theater that appear in the book, and invites readers to spot them.
