The National Arts Centre Theatre was overcapacity Friday, if you count all the adults who brought along their inner seven-and-a-half-year-old selves to the opening night of Through the Looking Glass.
“Bring ‘em out, bring ‘em out,” encouraged NAC English Theatre artistic director Jillian Keiley, who also directs this wonderful production. She and managing director Nathan Medd briefly addressed the crowd of adults, youth and children before it settled in for a night of fun and surprises that went hand in hand, like TweedleDee and TweedleDum.
Attendees included NAC board chair Adrian Burns and her lawyer husband, Greg Kane. They invited along Tom Lukiwski, a Conservative MP for Regina and parliamentary secretary to the government House leader, with his wife, Diane (one of their sons is an actor).

After the show ended and every last Sugar Mountain jelly bean package had floated down from the sky, everyone was invited to a party with the cast in the NAC Salon.
Natasha Greenblatt, who plays Alice, was all smiles with fans, including Julie Harris, 11, and her grandmother, Marti Pierce. They waited patiently for their turn to chat with the actress and let her know how “enchanted” they were by the production.

“I was just telling Alice that my husband (Max) and I have had theatre subscriptions for ever and this is the first time that I’ve sat through a show with a big smile on my face, from beginning to end,” said Pierce. “It was just so creative, magical and fun.”
Before the play, a couple of Alice characters and a Red Queen, led by NAC senior marketing manager Bridget Mooney, were seen with their six and seven year olds circulating around the lobby and handing out candy and bottles of bubbles to children and children-at-heart.
Through the Looking Glass plays at the NAC until January 3.
