About Alice in Up and Down Land

As part of Artistic Director Ralph Wakefield's days as a teacher in the 1970's, Drug Education was part of every school's curriculum. Being a thespian at his core, Ralph decided to use theatre arts to teach drug education and penned and produced this one-act play about a girl named Alice who falls asleep (or does she?) while studying for her drug ed test. Seduced by every possible drug she must make a choice - what is the ultimate high?

Here are some pictures from the original 1973 production as well as a more current production in 2007:

Who We Are and Our Sponsors

The Pelican Playhouse Inc. (a 501(c)(3) corporation) is true community theater at its best. Located in Miami Springs, Florida, and serving the Greater Miami Area, we are an intergenerational theater company, bringing families together to act, to run tech, and to watch performances.  The enthusiasm of our youth mingles with the wisdom of our elders to build community. Performing in the theater builds character, creativity, enhances self-expression and fosters self-esteem. People of all ages participate in these classes and are cast accordingly. We take particular pride in putting parents with their children on stage together.  The end results are a deeper appreciation of the arts and a bonding experience like no other.  The Pelican Playhouse is not theater with an “edge” but theater with an “awww.”  Come join us on stage! www.pelicanplayhouse.org
