Shake off the chill of winter and step into the magic of spring with the Saugerties Drama Club’s production of Alice by Heart. While inspired by Alice in Wonderland, this musical offers a different, more mature take on the story. Set during the 1941 London Blitz, it follows a young girl who uses the world of Wonderland to cope with the illness and loss of her close friend.
