A... My Name is Alice
 Tickets for A... My Name is Alice are on sale now!
Prepare for a lyrical, outrageous musical with A...My Name is Alice.
Discover a select group of women doing what they do best...being women.
Originally composed through a group of comedy writers, composers, and
directors, the play is a wonder to behold with quick song and a powerful
production. Find out how women react to the catastrophes of
parent/teacher conferences, the joys of a male strip club, the horror
of losing a parent, to a girl screaming at her soon to be
ex-boyfriend's jockstrap in a washing machine. The songs will liven
your step and quicken your mind. From songs with random French words to
a canticle about drinking, this show will uplift man or woman.
