"Every Day Alice"
Written by Anne Yumi Kobori
Directed by Maryssa Wanlass
Every Day Alice explores familiar characters from Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan, in a modern setting. Alice, a brilliant young writer, has been placed in a mental hospital due to nervous breakdowns from her overactive imagination. Her boyfriend Peter longs for adventure and a release from the responsibilities of adulthood. Their publisher/pianist friend James struggles to connect with his wife, Isabel, a mute professional dancer. The epic foursome is joined by Freudian doctor Avshalom, mad retired-actress Hattie, drunk window-cleaner Smythe, and card-sharp judge Queenie. Together they navigate the blurred lines between mental health and artistic expression, as they discover what it truly means to grow up.
