Expect to tumble down the rabbit hole into a Mad Hatter’s Tea Party when The Liberty Theatre Company hosts its inaugural Garden of Wonder benefit.

Patrons can travel through a tasting tour of the company’s season of shows and one-of-a-kind interactive experiences, while enjoying culinary delights and drinks that may make one grow larger or smaller. The Garden of Wonder will be held from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday, July 18, at the Sawtooth Botanical Garden south of Ketchum at Highway 75 and Gimlet Road.

The whimsical evening of performances, food and libations will also include a paddle up to ensure that all in the Wood River Valley have access to the transformative power of theatre regardless of their ability to pay.

The Liberty Theatre Company will include Alice and her friends in its Garden of Wonder benefit since it’s staging “Alice in Wonderland: A Radio Play” this year.

This year’s lineup includes “Boeing Boeing,” “Alice in Wonderland: A Radio Play,” “Little Shop of Horrors,” “A Doll’s House—Part 2” and the second annual “24 Hours Theatre Festival.”

Tickets are $100, available at https://tltctix.ludus.com/index.php?show_id=200455952&bpo=16339.
