Favorite Quotes:
“That’s why they are called ‘lessons’. Because they lessen from day to day!“ Gryphon, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland

Actor’s Nausea in three words:
Dedication, fun, enthusiasm

The hardest part so far:
Alice’s final growing at the end of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland

The best part so far:
The stage, costumes and props of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, the authentic Seventies dresses in A Tomb With a View

Funfact:
The “Coffee Battles” with Julia Fink are unforgettable. Though she left us for being part of the Solitary Company, I’m still here and still a coffee addict, so: who’s next to meet the challenge?
I am very much into details when it comes to props. Alice’s cookies actually had the words “Eat me!” on them, and the Weird Sisters’ “pilot’s thumb” really was a finger made from almond paste, meticulously modelled by our lovely cast member Natasha. Such details won’t ever be seen from the audience, but I believe that most actors enjoy using thoroughly designed props. At least Néo does – ask for the hedgehogs…

Greetings to:
Our loyal and constant audience, the numerous supporters and helping hands, our present and former members and everyone whose enthusiasm has guided us through the years. You rock!
