Halloween is one of the most theatrical of all holidays. Stage Troupe, one of BU’s many theater groups, decided to use that to their advantage and turn the opening night of Alice in Wonderland into a costume party.
Attendees were encouraged to wear costumes and participate in a costume contest where the audience cheered for their favorites.
Following the contest, the audience settled down to watch some of their favorite characters from the classic story come to life onstage.
