• By the Boards: Dennis Brown on the STL Theater Scene July 31-August 2

  There's something for everyone among this week's openings. www.stagesstlouis.com​Kids are apt to be amused by Alice in Wonderland, this summer's musical for children at Stages St. Louis. You're not likely to see this show on Broadway or at the Fox. Based on the 1951 Disney animated movie (which in turn of course was based on the Lewis Carroll fantasy Alice's Adventures Under Ground), it was created by Disney Theatricals strictly to capitalize on the unquenchable thirst for children's theater.
