The Playhouse in Whitley are delighted to
announce that local actor
Tom Whalley has been cast as the Mad Hatter in Immersion Theatre’s Alice in Wonderland.
Tom trained at Associated Studios, London, graduating
with a Diploma in Musical Theatre in 2014. A native Geordie, Tom made a name
for himself as a performer, writer and compose working with a number
of theatre companies, directors and creatives in the North East and London. Following an
appearance on BBC Three’s reality series Shoplife, Tom left his
native Newcastle behind to live in London and has since starred in a number of
off West End productions and UK Tours (Dick Whittington eat your heart
out!) Passionate about Pantomime, Tom wrote and starred in his first
pantomime as an ‘Ugly Sister’ at the tender age of 17 and has written
Pantomimes for the village he grew up in for almost a decade.

Immersion Theatre will return to the Playhouse
with Alice in Wonderland on Thursday the 23rd of

Imagination runs wild and logic is abandoned
in this fantastical, larger-than-life musical brimming with nonsensical fun and
excitement for the entire family.
Follow Alice and the White Rabbit as they set
off on a colourful, topsy-turvy adventure like no other and meet a host of
outlandish characters including the troublesome twins, Tweedle Dum and Tweedle
Dee, the notorious Queen of Hearts, the Cheshire Cat and of course, the Mad-as
a bat-Hatter!
Immersion Theatre proudly bring their
trademark energy to their most spectacularly bonkers show to date, as children
and adults alike are invited to join in the hilarity of seeing this classic
story brought vividly to life before having the opportunity to meet the
characters after the show...why not come dressed up as your favourite? A
perfect day out for the entire family, you’d be mad to miss it!
