Ross Petty’s family Holiday panto is going virtual again this year

Ross Petty Productions in Association with Crow’s Theatre presents ALICE IN WINTERLAND, A Virtual Family Holiday Musical December 18-19, 2021

TORONTO, ON, November 9, 2021 – The holiday season just wouldn’t be the same without the annual Ross Petty Productions family musical, so for the second year, the holiday “Panto” goes virtual with a brand-new production, ALICE IN WINTERLAND. Written by Matt Murray
Directed by Mike Fly and Tracey Flye this year’s Holiday pantomime is double the fun because you can Choose Your Own Adventure for an interactive one-of-a-kind theatrical experience.

Meet Allie, proprietor of Allie’s Shroom Room, an artisanal mushroom shop on the other side of the rabbit hole in Wonderland. The same day Allie is planning her big store opening, the evil ice witch Frostina and her long-suffering architect Algor show up to ruin everything. Frostina declares herself the villain of Wonderland and sets her plan in motion to turn Wonderland into a sub-zero wasteland, known forthwith as Winterland.

Plumbum—who had just dropped into the shop for some shrooms on her way to her time share vacation at Wonderland castle—join forces with Allie and the at-home viewers to stop Frostina and save Wonderland. Will they end up on the Field of Flying Elephants or in the Mellow Marsh? Will they find the elusive ChesPfizer Cat or stop for a TikTok dance party with the Mad Hatter? The audience chooses their own adventure while cheering for Allie and booing Frostina!
