Events: Alice in Wonderland & All About Kids Expo
Through Sunday. Go down the rabbit hole with the Boulder Ballet in their “Storybook Ballet” production of “Alice in Wonderland.” Performed by Boulder Ballet School students, the ballet tells Lewis Carroll’s classic tale of weirdness with new, original music, costumes and choreography. Watch as Alice finds herself in strange and confusing Wonderland, surrounded by bizarre, talking animals and goofy humans. Expect to meet some of the story’s favorite characters, including the tea-crazed Mad Hatter and the ever-smiling Cheshire Cat. 7 p.m. Friday; 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Saturday; 2 p.m. Sunday. Dairy Center for the Arts, 2590 Walnut St., Boulder; 303-440-7826. Tickets are $17 general admission, $12 for kids under 12. Buy tickets in advance by calling 303-444-SEAT or visit thedairy.org.
Saturday-Sunday. Wear out the kids with a full day of fun at the All About Kids Expo, hosted by Radio Disney. The 20th annual event is a huge hodgepodge of family friendly diversions, from live performances to hands-on activities. Kids can make craft projects, test their sports skills, whiz down a giant slide and meet animals in the petting zoo, for starters, while parents peruse booths from exhibitors and vendors. Disney Junior’s Choo Choo Soul will perform on both days of the expo, with Radio Disney star Shealeigh playing on Saturday, too; Stefanie Scott, star of the Disney Channel’s “A.N.T. Farm,” will do a fan Q&A session on Sunday. Stick around for dance acts, magic shows and more. 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.
