“Alice and Wonderland, A Rock Opera” is presented by the national touring company The Magik Theatre.

In addition to theatrical productions, The Magik Theatre’s arts education outreach programs include the Acting and Creativity Academy, AccessAbility, X-celerated Theatre and Shakespeare Speaks, which are free in-school workshops that culminate with the organization’s annual Shakespeare in the Park festival at the San Antonio Botanical Garden. The touring group also regularly shares their talents with audiences of all ages at theatrical venues and schools, as well as at colleges and universities throughout the country.
