PMS Drama Club’s ‘Alice in Wonderland’ available on-demand Thursday-Monday
Facing the challenge of putting on a show during Covid-19, the Pelham Middle School Drama Club decided to adapt “Alice in Wonderland” from the traditional classic into a shorter, one-act show that tells the well-loved tale.
It’s available to rent on-demand for 48 hours from Thursday through Monday. The show is $12 for individual viewing and $25 for families.
Rehearsing and performing a show fully virtually had its ups and downs.
“It’s beneficial because it keeps people safe from Covid, and by making the show available virtually, many more people will get to see the performance,” said Justin Cohen, who plays Tweedledum.
While the show may be less work for the audience, theater via Google Meet was a whole different situation for the kids. “The hardest part was working online and finding the motivation to really connect with the character,” said Jeremy Tam, the show’s The Mad Hatter.
Taya Senerchia, who plays Alice, said, “It was so amazing watching the play come together over Zoom. Everyone was truly excited to work on this project, and I am super excited for everyone to watch.”

Congratulations to all! This video sounds absolutely wonderful as well as remarkable in view of the Covid pandemic constraints with which the crew and actors were confronted . It truly seems to be a textbook example of the fact that “necessity is the mother of invention”. I am, therefore, looking very forward to viewing PMS Drama Club’s innovative production of Alice in Wonderland.
