A talented cast and crew of 41 Summer Production Camp students between the ages of six and fourteen bring the ensemble of humans, animals, flowers, and cards to life. Cast members of Disney's “Alice In Wonderland, Jr.” reside in Wellesley as well as neighboring communities including Weston, Newton, Waban, Natick, Sherborn, Waltham, Dover, and Dedham.

The music and lyrics are by Sammy Fain, Bob Hillard Oliver Wallace, Cy Coban, Alli Wrubel, Ray Gilbert, Mack David, Al Hoffman, and Jerry Livingston. Music adapted and arranged and additional music and lyrics by Bryan Lousille. Book adapted and additional lyrics by David Simpatico.
