Wonderland strives to give multidisciplinary artists a platform to respond directly to the current moment in our country and beyond.

Pretty Girls, Little Dragon • improvised Jan 3020

We watched Barbarella, and naturally, wrote a song. Because there is no finer film in this galaxy. October 2020 Lyrics by Kailey Rhodes Music by F. Michael Haynie

Merry Christmas from Anonymous Theatre! On one December night in 2020, Kailey had 3 old-fashioneds. She didn't know what Christmas tale she'd be telling. Then, her friends and fellow Anonymous actors dubbed the parts a la #drunkhistory. They didn't know who was in it... until now. Anonymous Theatre is about surprises. https://www.anonymoustheatre.org/ #thegrinch #anonymoustheatre Cast: Jasmine Cottrell Isaac Lamb Josh Weinstein Danielle Valentine Gerrin Delane Mitchell Barbie Wu Quinlan Fitzgerald Benjamin Tissell Matthew Sepeda Alec Lugo
