Dine like royalty and join us as a special guest for the Queen’s Tea! Race the White Rabbit, tongue-tie yourself with the Tweedles, or sit for a springtime chat with Alice herself! Presented by the award-winning theatre company We Players, experience wild and whimsical Wonderland characters at NYBG during our all-out opening weekend celebration.
While you’re here, enjoy Wonderland-inspired tea and crumpets for purchase, give croquette a go among other lawn games, and create your own hat before joining in a variety of tea sampling demonstrations as the Mad Hatter makes merry on grounds.
We Players has spent over 20 years staging dynamic, engaging, and thought-provoking performances in iconic civic landscapes. Led by Founding Artistic Director Ava Roy, We Players explores both classic tales and brand-new narratives. The troupe connects people with place through kinesthetic experience that invites audiences to engage fully and awaken to the spectacular world around us.
