If you’re looking for something special to put on your family calendar this winter, here’s a can’t-miss event coming to Roanoke. This February, the Barter Players will bring their lively, imaginative production of Alice in Wonderland to the Jefferson Center for a one-night-only performance that’s perfect for kids and parents alike.
The show takes place on Friday, February 6 at 7:00 PM in the Shaftman Performance Hall. Known for their fast-paced, actor-driven storytelling, the Barter Players have a special way of pulling young audiences into the action while keeping adults just as entertained.
The Barter Players are the touring company of Barter Theatre, one of the oldest professional theatres in the country, founded in 1933. Their productions are designed especially for young audiences, with a focus on creativity, imagination, and making classic stories feel fresh and accessible.
In Alice in Wonderland, families will follow Alice as she tumbles down the rabbit hole into a delightfully strange world filled with familiar characters like the Mad Hatter, the White Rabbit, and the Queen of Hearts. Through expressive performances, clever staging, and plenty of energy, the story comes to life in a way that feels playful, whimsical, and just right for a family night out.
Jefferson Center representatives shared how excited they are to welcome the Barter Players to Roanoke, noting that the company’s commitment to artistic excellence and engaging young audiences fits perfectly with Jefferson Center’s mission to bring meaningful arts experiences to the community.
