Big city reporter Amanda Danger needs some spark, a little quark to get her out of her funk. Who cares that she has a collection of Pulitzers? She wants to cover something new! What Amanda wants, Amanda gets when her editor sends her to Venice in search of the key to immortality and true love. Against a 1940s-ish backdrop, this wild adventure is packed with crazy language, unexpected cameos, a klutzy rival reporter, and a Noir style that just won't quit..

Alice's Adventures Underground is a modern retelling of Lewis Carol's story of the same name. 12-year-old Alice and her precocious 10-year-old friend Sam have a lot they'd like to run away from; neighborhood bullies, parents who are sick, the confusion of being a kid...and one Halloween night in New York City, they get their chance. After falling down a manhole and discovering a world full of the stuff dreams are made of, Alice and Sam must figure out how to hold their own against talking animals, Hatters intent on giving Existential tea parties, cats that grin, and queens without hearts.

Alice's Adventures Underground is a story about the adventures of growing up, and the journey of coming home.

All military attempts to stop the beast have failed, our only hope seems to be in the hands of a few kids known as the Fearless Four.  As if this wasn't enough, a giant egg the size of a hundred football fields is approaching our shores.

Stay tuned and find out."

This two-week program will focus on the fundamentals of acting (movement, speech, voice, improvisation, ensemble effort, and character study), while having an absurd amount of fun. Emphasis will be on onstage confidence, the importance of collaboration, and spontaneity in performance. Run by Andy’s alumni, the conservatory will culminate in an informal performance.

The Mysterious Space Adventure is an original show written by our own Jill Barry and Shannon Sexton. Please come and support our new participants as they embark on their first Andy's production!

Performance: Sunday, August 3, 11am
