*Alice in Wonderland theatre hikes take place every Saturday and Sunday starting Saturday, June 15 through Sunday, July 14
Please check in at the picnic shelter behind the Chautauqua Auditorium. Check in begins at 9 am and theatre hikes start promptly at 10 am.
A madcap adaptation of the Lewis Carroll classic. Alice chases a White Rabbit down a hole to a world in which she encounters strange creatures and even stranger poetry. Classic characters such as the Mad Hatter and Queen of Hearts are joined by ones not usually dramatized, including the Pigeon and the Nanny in Duchess’ kitchen.
Our hikes are usually at a moderate level/pace and last no more than 2 hours. When you first arrive, you will be greeted by your hiking guide who will lead the way down the trail to each scene location. Once you arrive at a scene location, you can sit back and relax and watch a scene from the production. Once the scene is complete, we all gather our things and hike to the next location.
During an Arts in the Open production, you will be hiking along a moderate trail. We encourage all audience members to wear proper hiking attire and shoes. We also recommend you bring:
Weather appropriate clothing, water, snacks, hats, umbrellas, sunscreen, and blankets to sit on and/or lightweight camping chairs. There will be water and granola bars available for a suggested donation.

Wicked Wanderings by Patti Murtha
“Don’t wander alone in the woods” is a caution as old as time, and for good reason. So many frightful things lurk amongst the trees – from wicked witches to frightful fairies – and what is a mere mortal to do when confronted with such evils? Join us on the trail as we explore tales that will show us just how dark the forest can be.
