Dinner theatre

SINSINAWA -- A dinner theatre performance of Looking Glass Land will be presented on April 17 and 24 at 6:30 p.m. at Sinsinawa Mound.

The dinner is $13 and the show is $10 for adults and $5 for students. Reservation deadline is April 13 for the April 17 show and April 20 for the April 24 show.

For those interested in the show only, performances will be held at 8 p.m. on April 16, 17, 23, and 24 and at 2 p.m. on April 18.

Looking Glass Land is the award-winning stage adaptation of Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass. It retains some of Carroll's deeper meanings, but it mainly possesses a huge helping of unabashed zaniness amid Alice's magical wonderland.
