“Alice by Heart” captivates audiences with a blend of whimsy and melancholy
Spectrum Theatre, one of the University’s student-run theater organizations, launched their spring 2024 production of Steven Sater and Jessie Nelson’s musical, “Alice by Heart” in the Student Activities Building Thursday. Xander Tilock, the show’s director and second-year College student, introduced the show by characterizing it as “a question not an answer.” An exploration of grief and trauma, the production perfectly embodies Spectrum's mission to “challenge and engage audiences” by representing the blurry boundaries between reality and illusion.
