A white rabbit who is al- ways late, a mad hatter, Siamese eats, a noisy Queen of Hearts â€"- put them all together with a young girl and you 'have the story of “Alice In Wonderland" as presented by the girls' choir of Richmond Hill Uniited April 5 and 6. Boys from the corp, Chief Petty Officer Walne Tutt, Chief Petty Officer Andy Pattersdorfer and Leading Cadet Martin Page, helped things run smoothly by ope- rating the coat checking, ticket taking, and by seeing that each lady guest received a red rose. Prizes for the evening were donated by Stop ‘n’ Shop. Mills Roses, Odeon Theatres, Apollo 11, Scott’s Chicken Villa, Kres- ges and Brian Shell Service Car Wash.

Admission. including cheese. is $2.50, and there will be limited admission at the door. For reservations call 884-1435 or 8336541. The story is generously stocked with musical numâ€" Den. 18 in all. and has a constant parade of charac- ters to keep the audience amused throughout the 90 minutes of Alice's trip. Alice (Laura Dynes) is kept hopping to avoid the queen (Yvonne Sale) who likes to chop off heads. The queen's knaves also make it uncomfortable for the hero- ine, but by the time the final curtain falls it is a happy ending. Laurie Stockall, Martha Dynes, Marney Smith, Rhon- da Atkinson, Carla McFar- lane, Sonia Foord and Kelly Warner all contribute strong character performances.
