| | Lights, camera, action! With 50 1st through 7th grade students serving as cast and crew, St. Perpetua School proudly presented their spring musical, Alice in BEATLESLand. This original production was written and directed by Barrett Lindsay-Steiner, an accomplished actor, writer and director. Barrett's staff included Sarah Sumner and Claire Laurence, local high school students, plus a St. Perpetua School Alumna, Katie Steele. The musical was a contemporary re-telling of the classic Alice in Wonderland but with a twist. When the Beatles follow the Rabbit into Wonderland, everything is "BEATLEfied. Alice goes on a quest to find the four missing BEATLES and to return Wonderland to its natural state. Barrett transformed this classic into a smart comedy, full of bright, original, and fun musical theater. With its wonderful humor and darling costumes, this small-scale production was performed to a full house and concluded with a standing ovation from the audience!
