SUMMARY:On a Golden Afternoon
DESCRIPTION:..Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland began as a performance.

Charlie Lovett\, author\, scholar and curator of the Library’s current exhibition\, shares the details of Carroll’s love for performing and his invention of Alice in Wonderland. See artifacts from Carroll’s world up close. Participate in a reading from a facsimile of Carroll’s own hand written early draft of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland\, and enjoy a morning of storytelling\, wordplay\, and interactive Wonderland fun. \nReserve your seat HERE (For assistance with online reservations\, please visit the welcome desk at the Library for the Performing Arts’ Lincoln Center Plaza entrance\, where volunteers will make a reservation for you\, even if you do not use email. All registered seats are released 15 minutes before start time\, so we recommend that you arrive early.) \nThis program takes place in the Library for the Performing Arts’ Cafe\, on the first floor\, plaza level.   Enter via the Cafe entrance by ascending the stairs at the corner of Amsterdam Ave. and West 65th St.  Mobility impaired people may enter via 111 Amsterdam Ave. \n

SUMMARY:Alice Live!
DESCRIPTION:To commemorate the 150th anniversary of the publication of Alice’s Adventure’s in Wonderland\, The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts will present the exhibit Alice Live! The exhibit will trace the history of Lewis Carroll’s immortal Alice stories in live performance from their first professional staging in 1886 to the present day. Alice Live! will open on October 2\, 2015 through January 16\, 2016 in the Oenslager Gallery\, Shelby Cullom Davis Museum. The exhibit is curated by Charlie Lovett\, a collector of Carroll materials for over 30 years\, author of Alice on Stage and other studies of Carroll\, and the New York Times bestselling author of the novels The Bookman’s Tale and First Impressions. The exhibit will include over 250 items drawn from Lovett’s own collection\, the rich depository at the New York Public Library\, the University of Southern California\, New York University\, the Center for Puppetry Arts\, and other private collections. \nAlice Live! will begin with an examination of Lewis Carroll’s own enthusiastic theatergoing and then document the first professional stage production of Alice in London in 1886. A lengthy letter from Carroll to dramatist Henry Savile Clarke and a Carroll drawing from the Berol Collection of New York University will be displayed. Early productions will be documented with playbills\, advertisements\, and photographs\, including a recently discovered set of photographs of the first production of Alice in Wonderland on the Broadway stage in 1915. \nNew York productions will be especially well documented. Highlights include a set of watercolor costume designs from a 1933 Alice sketch at Radio City Music Hall in 1933; materials from the Eva Le Gallienne productions of 1932\, 1947\, and 1988 all on Broadway; a Mad Hatter puppet from Tony Sarg’s adaptation that appeared on Broadway in 1930; and materials from Vinnette Carroll’s But Never Jam Today and Liz Swados’ Alice at the Palace\, starring Meryl Streep. \nA case of playbills from the nineteenth century to the twenty-first will document not just the variety of productions of Alice over the years\, but the development of the playbill itself. Photos of Alice performers through the years will show similar developments in costumes and conception of the main character. \nAlice Live! will cover not just theatre but ballet\, opera\, music\, and even versions of the stories performed on ice and underwater. A centerpiece is a six by seven foot full-color lithographed poster from Emilie Littler’s 1933 British production. An 1875 music book and 1880 script include two of the earliest illustrations of Alice by artists other than the original illustrator\, John Tenniel. Sheet music from 1872 shows the first colored illustrations of Alice. The exhibit\, which is designed to appeal to all ages\, will also include a children’s trail\, with items mounted at a lower level and a special Alice-themed treasure hunt for younger visitors. \n

SUMMARY:Alice: 150 Years of Wonderland
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition will bring to light the curious history of Wonderland\, presenting an engaging account of the genesis\, publication\, and enduring appeal of Lewis Carroll’s classic tale\, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. \nFor the first time in three decades\, the original manuscript will travel from the British Library in London to New York\, where it will be joined by original drawings and letters\, rare editions\, vintage photographs\, and fascinating objects—many never before exhibited. \nThe enchanting tale of Wonderland was first told “one golden afternoon” to Alice Liddell and her two sisters. Delighted by the fantastic world of logic and nonsense inhabited by rabbits in waistcoats and playing card gardeners\, Alice begged for a written copy of her namesake’s adventures under ground. Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (better known by his pen name Lewis Carroll) painstakingly wrote out the story\, illustrating the original manuscript with his own pen and ink drawings. \nRevised and radically expanded\, it appeared in 1865 as Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland with the iconic illustrations of Sir John Tenniel. But Tenniel was dissatisfied with the printing quality\, and the edition was suppressed almost immediately. Now\, only twenty-two or twenty-three copies of the first edition are known to survive. It was quickly republished\, and Tenniel’s brilliant drawings (markedly different from Carroll’s own) and their relationship to the text contributed to the initial and enduring success of the book. \nFrom here\, the ethos of Alice and the universe of Wonderland took hold of our imagination\, and—150 years later—we are still following her down the rabbit hole.

SUMMARY:LCSNA Spring 2013 Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Stephanie Lovett and Charlie and Janice Lovett were our hosts in Winston-Salem\, North Carolina\, for a very full\, multiple-venue three days (April 19-21). The events included a fully-staged performance of Dan Singer‘s new play\, A Perfect Likeness\, about an imagined meeting between Dodgson and Dickens; a talk by Charlie on the influence of Rev. Charles Dodgson on his son’s religious thinking; a chamber music concert featuring some of Carroll’s favorite tunes; a talk by Dr. Morna O’Neill on Edward Steichen and Lewis Carroll as photographers; Mark Richards on Carroll and surrealism; a presentation by Jett Jackson about her Alice paintings and sculptures; a Victorian Choral Evensong service featuring a sermon by Mark Goodacre based on an outline by Rev. Dodgson (Carroll\, not his father)\, and an exhibition of the Lovett Collection\, “Lewis Carroll & The Writer’s World.” Handouts included a catalogue of exhibits\, an updated version of Charlie’s article about Carroll’s typewriter (with text actually typed on the machine and laid into every copy!)\, and there was more than the usual amount of wonderful dining and socializing events\, as well. By all accounts\, the weekend was nothing less than utterly frabjous.

SUMMARY:Alice in the Rosenbach Collection (Spring 2010 Meeting)
DESCRIPTION:The spring 2010 meeting of the LCSNA was held at the Rosenbach Museum & Library in Philadelphia\, PA on Saturday\, April 24th\, 2010. Canadian member Andy Malcolm presented a funny and illuminating talk and hands-on demonstration about his work as foley (sound effects) artist for Tim Burton’s new Alice in Wonderland film\, ably aided by ProTools expert Jenna Dalla Riva and sound engineer Jack Heeren. The enormously talented Nancy Wiley shared an entertaining history of her career as a doll artist (with a great Demi Moore story!) and spoke about her beautiful new doll-themed edition of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. She kindly signed copies of her book and displayed some of her Carrollian dolls afterward. Noted Harvard scholar Maria Tatar gave a fascinating talk about the importance of nonsense\, and our instinctive need to find some kind of sense in it. To close the meeting\, Rosenbach Librarian Elizabeth Fuller treated attendees to an up-close look at a wealth of rare Carrolliana\, including an 1865 Alice\, correspondence\, and photographs\, all selected especially for us. In addition\, Please Touch Museum held its Storybook Weekend\, perfect for a Friday or Sunday visit\, and Stacey Swigart kindly arranged for free admission for LCSNA members. From beginning to end\, it was a brillig meeting\, and those in attendance voted it one of the LCSNA’s best. After the meeting\, attendees reconvened at The Black Sheep Pub (taking over the entire first floor!) for a delicious dinner and delightful conversation. Our thanks again to everyone at the Rosenbach for being such gracious hosts.

SUMMARY:Alice in Fort Lee\, New Jersey (Fall 2009 Meeting)
DESCRIPTION:David Schaefer\, a founding member and past president of the LCSNA\, began the meeting by giving a succinct overview of Alice in films\, starting with the 1903 Cecil Hepworth production at Walton on the Thames in England\, through the 1910 Edison company film and up to the Alice films of the 1930s\, including the first “talkie” version\, made in Fort Lee. Our first speaker\, film historian Prof. Richard Koszarski of Rutgers University\, did a remarkable job of sketching for us the interrelated social\, cultural\, economic\, and artistic history which had made Fort Lee\, New Jersey\, the first American movie capital. Alan Tannenbaum\, another past president of our society\, gave an entertaining hands-on talk about Alice film strip toys. Dr. Greg Bowers\, Assistant Professor of Theory and Composition in the Music Department of William and Mary College\, and composer of the musical “Lewis Carroll and Alice\,” spoke about “Timid and Tremulous Sounds: What Film Scores Should Like to Explain about Alice’s Adventures.” This brilliant talk greatly helped this writer to just begin to see what he had been hearing\, consciously or not\, and hear what he had been seeing. We then screened the extremely rare 1930 Producer “Bud” Pollard Alice\, the first talkie\, shot at the Metropolitan (formerly Peerless) Studio\, in Fort Lee. Young Ruth Gilbert (later a TV regular on Milton Berle’s show) played Alice; members of her family were in the audience for this special screening. Her slight New Jersey accent would have perhaps horrified audiences accustomed to Oxbridge English but Ruth gave a perky performance as Alice. Some liberties were taken with the book. For example\, the film added a peculiar love relationship between the Duchess and the White Rabbit! The story concludes with Alice saying\, again in her American patois “Come on all of you\, who’s afraid of a paltry deck of cards?” Delightful fun.

SUMMARY:Alice\, Mooney and Spooney in Santa Fe (Spring 2009 Meeting)
DESCRIPTION:Our Santa Fe\, New Mexico\, meeting began with a brief talk by Theaterwork’s artistic director\, David Olson\, on their first performance of Lewis Carroll’s juvenile operetta La Guida di Bragia since the young Charles Lutwidge Dodgson staged it for his family. Together with LCSNA’s multi-talented Jonathan Dixon\, Olson talked about the marionette play we would see in the evening: how children’s dolls\, rescued from the local Goodwill store\, were turned into doll puppets representing the characters of Mooney\, Spooney\, Sophonisba\, and her husband Orlando; how they designed a stage that was a miniature theater\, about six feet tall with the stage window itself about three feet high and four feet wide\, with a recreation\, highly carrollized\, of a sitting room on the floor in front of it with miniature furniture and even a tiny tool set perhaps much like the one Lewis Carroll had made as a boy. After a hearty southwestern style lunch\, we were treated to a live performance of Gerald Fried’s chamber piece “The Chess Game” for narrator\, flute/piccolo\, oboe (played by the composer himself)\, violin\, cello\, and piano. Fried\, a composer of four symphonies and three operas\, is perhaps best known for his works for film and television\, including the score for Stanley Kubrick’s “Paths of Glory” and many “Star Trek” episodes \, including the Alice-themed “Shore Leave.” The Chess Game was a brilliant musical piece with narration of three scenes from Through the Looking-Glass: the running in-place scene\, how the flowers protect themselves\, and the two bumbling knights. It reminded one of us of the early 1950s Omnibus performance of Peter and the Wolf. Jonathan Dixon read the text passages introducing and separating the music\, which itself was simply wonderful – its perky leitmotifs and sequences capturing in another kind of language the quirkiness and beauty of Carrroll’s text. Next\, Jonathan Dixon\, Andrew Ogus\, and Mark Burstein treated us to an account of how the LCSNA produced a hardback book of La Guida di Bragia with illustrations by Dixon. It all started with a conversation Jonathan Dixon had with Prof. Morton N. Cohen in 1992. Cohen suggested that the society publish Carroll’s La Guida di Bragia\, which had only been published once before\, in the Christmas 1931 number of the British magazine The Queen. The original manuscript had been sold at Sotheby’s from a lot identified as “the property of Major C.H.W. Dodgson” on Feb. 14\, 1929 and much later was bought by the American pencil magnate\, Alfred Berol\, who gave it to the Fales Library of New York University with the rest of his magnificent Carroll collection. Former LCSNA president Peter Heath wrote an introduction to the text which with a transcription of the play and illustrations by Jonathan Dixon was published in the Knight Letter\, no. 61\, Fall 1999. Some years later\, Marvin Taylor at the Fales Library was able to supply us with digital copies of the pages of Carroll’s original text\, which we included in our 2007 hardback edition. To conclude the meeting\, LCSNA members and local attendees were treated to a private (and hilarious) performance of La Guida di Bragia. A remarkable achievement\, capping off a remarkable meeting.
