Orlando Sentinel: "You could compare the making of Alice Experiments in Wonderland, at UCF Conservatory Theatre, to the attempt to scale an especially high mountain. You do it because you can.
Doing it because you can, though, may work better for mountains than for theater, where a piece like Alice Experiments in Wonderland — a technological challenge in which three university theater departments collaborate on a show in real time — does a whole lot more for the folks onstage than it does for those of us out in the house."

Awesomely interesting that the reviewer stated the most effective part of the show wasn't the amazing technology used to show actors via video feeds, but the caterpillar puppet. As new technologies become available, we have to embrace them in the theater, or we have no chance of surviving... but at the same time it is fascinating to know that those "oldie but goodie" theater tricks are the ones that keep on working the most effectively. Did someone say tried and true?
