Alice in ScienceLand is a vibrant, family-friendly theatrical adventure that whisks audiences down the rabbit hole into a wild and whimsical world where science springs to life! Perfect for children ages 4 and up, this magical 30-minute show—performed by the acclaimed Farm Arts Collective—follows a curious young student named Alice who dozes off while cramming for her science exam… only to awaken in the extraordinary realm of ScienceLand!

Through songs, dance, humor, and interactive storytelling, Alice in ScienceLand weaves critical climate science and environmental awareness into a joyful, thought-provoking tale. At every turn, Alice gains valuable lessons about the interconnectedness of our planet and the urgent need to protect it—returning home not just ready for her exam, but inspired to stand up for a healthier world.

Directed by Tannis Kowalchuk, and featuring a dynamic ensemble cast including live Foley sound effects, this enchanting show is both educational and electrifying. Originally developed from the Collective’s 2021 production The Scientists, it is part of the ongoing DREAM ON THE FARM climate theatre series. Stick around after the show for a 15-minute talkback with NASA Scientist Elaine Matthews, where kids and grownups alike can ask questions and dig deeper into the science behind the story.
