A nighttime leap into Wonderland on the big stage

With ALICE, the Free Waldorf School Erlangen brings a poetic theater evening to the Markgrafentheater Great House on July 24, 2026. Heinrich Waegner's adaptation of Lewis Carroll opens a space between dream logic, playful joy, and youthful stage energy – a stage experience that brings together imagination, movement, and acting art. The performance begins at 19:30 and creates a bridge from the school project to the public theater atmosphere in the traditional venue.

Between the rabbit hole and stage magic

Lewis Carroll's Alice has been one of the great myths of world literature since 1865: a girl falls into a world where logic tips, language dances, and figures appear as if from a dream. This open, associative structure makes the material so appealing for the stage. Heinrich Waegner's adaptation is conceived as a free version and thus places the theatrical transformation at the center rather than a mere retelling. From the literary source, a play space for rhythm, images, and surprising transitions is created.

Student ensemble with a sense of rhythm and imagination

The production of the 12th grade of the Free Waldorf School Erlangen focuses on a combination of acting, music, and movement. This is precisely where the special tension of this evening lies: youthful bodies, precise scenic images, and a narrative that thrives on wonder. In the Markgrafentheater, this school project meets a venue with baroque dignity and strong acoustic presence. The result promises not a smooth perfection, but a lively stage experience in which the audience's reaction becomes as much a part of the evening as lighting, costume, and performance.

The Markgrafentheater as a resonance space

The Markgrafentheater is the oldest baroque theater in southern Germany still in operation and thus a place with a special aura. For visitors, the venue offers practical advantages: Evening performances in the Great House usually begin at 19:30, coats, jackets, and large bags must go to the cloakroom, and since October 2024, there has been a barrier-free access on Theaterstraße opposite the theater parking lot. The theater is therefore not only historically charged but also well set up for contemporary theater visits. ([schauspiel-erlangen.de](https://www.schauspiel-erlangen.de/theaterbesuch))

Travel, entry, and service

For travel, the theater square is recommended; free parking is available there from 19:00 Monday to Saturday. At the same time, the venue itself advises using public transportation, as parking options near the theater are limited and the admission ticket allows free travel in the network area. The Markgrafentheater also has an inductive hearing system, barrier-free daytime and evening box offices, and wheelchair spaces in the 1st tier. This creates reliable conditions for a relaxed theater evening. ([visit-erlangen.de](https://www.visit-erlangen.de/poi/markgrafentheater-27264/))
