Wonderland and War

Our Fabulous Variety Show will bring three new programs inspired by “Alice in Wonderland” to Guild Hall this weekend, starting tomorrow night at 7:30 with “Wonderland,” the troupe’s 18th production, which explores the balance of power in a utopian world inhabited by Alice, the Mad Hatter, the March Hare, and many other denizens of Lewis Carroll’s wondrous creation. “Wonderland” will also be performed on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m.

“Alice Jr.,” which will be presented Saturday at 2 p.m. and Sunday at 6 p.m., tells how a young Alice fights for imagination in a Wonderland stripped of color and creativity by the White Queen. Both shows include dance numbers and original music.

“Wonderland After 9” will feature the drag queen divas RaffaShow, Naomi, and Rusty Nails, as well as local musicians, singers, and dancers, who will perform Saturday evening at 9. Tickets range from $20 to $55 and are available at ourfabulousvarietyshow.org.

Fantasy will yield to reality on Tuesday evening at 7:30 when JDT Lab will present “Vietnam . . . Through My Lens,” a solo performance by Stu Richel based on his service during much of 1969 as a combat photographer and writer with the First Infantry Division in Vietnam.

Mr. Richel will share memories and reflections on how he got to Vietnam, what he did there, and how things have played out since. His commentary will be supplemented by video projections of some of his Vietnam photographs. Guild Hall has suggested reservations for the free program.
