Downtown Tampa’s Jobsite Theater’s enjoyed quite a run as of late, and fans of the company’s morbidly hilarious “Shockheaded Peter” won’t want to skip out on “Alice.”

Lewis Carroll’s story of the young girl who fell through a rabbit hole is well-known, but it gets the cabaret treatment at Straz Center, plus new original music by Jeremy Douglass and his daughter Juniper who’ve written a score that ranges in style “from weird polkas to the musical theater stylings of Kurt Weill,” according to Jobsite. Aerial hoop sequences and choreography come care of Katrina Stevenson and Kasondra Rose, and puppets will range from single-person minis to pieces requiring operation by four performers.

Previews happen on Wednesday, with performances happening this weekend through a 4 p.m. Mother’s Day matinee. The show runs through June 4.

Tickets to see Jobsite Theater’s “Alice” inside the Shimberg Playhouse at David A. Straz Center for the Performing Arts in Tampa from May 11-June 4 are on sale now and start at $29.50. Subscribe to Creative Loafing newsletters.
