Millbrook Community Theatre will open Alice in Wonderland the Musical on Wednesday, July 16, and keep it on stage through July 26 at 5720 Main Street in Millbrook. With tickets set at $15 online plus a $2.50 fee or $20 at the door, the production gives Autauga County and River Region families a nearby summer outing that stays within reach.

Michael Proper and Missy Price are directing the show, which the theatre has built around over-the-top costumes, a colorful set and a quick pace that follows Alice’s fall down the rabbit hole through the Queen of Hearts’ flamingo croquet scene. That kind of staging is designed to make the musical work for children and adults in the same room, while giving the company a visual production that can compete with bigger entertainment options without leaving Millbrook.

The run also lands during a busy stretch for Millbrook Community Players, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that depends on ticket sales and community support to keep live theatre going. The group’s 2026 lineup continues after Alice in Wonderland with The Addams Family in September and Disney’s Frozen in November, a calendar that leans hard into recognizable family titles and keeps attention on the local stage through the fall.

Millbrook’s theatre scene has been built steadily for years. The organization was formed in 2006, first performing at Robinson Springs United Methodist Church before moving into the former Robinson Springs Elementary School. Earlier reporting has said audiences came from as far away as Clanton, a reminder that the company has long drawn viewers beyond the city limits.

The Millbrook marquee, restored in May after storm damage, now signals that live theatre is back in view on Main Street. The theatre’s physical address is 5720 Main Street, Millbrook, Alabama 36054, with mailing addressed to P.O. Box 511 and a contact number of (334) 782-7317.
