The Davis Musical Theatre Company's Young Performers Theater Division has a new production of "Alice in Wonderland" currently playing.
Based on the Lewis Carroll classic, "Alice in Wonderland" follows young heroine Alice as she takes a tumble down an enchanted rabbit hole to "an off-kilter world of mock turtles, dancing flora, punctual rabbits and mad tea parties."
All performances will be at the Jean Henderson Performing Arts Center, located at 607 Pena Dr. in East Davis. All performers are aged 7-17, and are from Davis, Woodland and the Sacramento area.
The whimsical musical will play until Sunday, Oct. 9. Tickets are $8 for all ages.
On the main stage, Disney's "Beauty and the Beast" will be playing until Oct. 2.
The play follows Belle, headstrong and beautiful, and the Beast, who is really a young prince trapped under a spell placed by an enchantress. The Beast must learn to love and be loved in return before the last petal on an enchanted rose falls, or be cursed to remain a beast forever.
Filled with all the popular music from the Disney animated classic, this showing is sure to delight audiences of all ages.

The Artery Gallery in Davis is set to have a new exhibition titled "Shades of Black and White" on Sept. 30.
With weaving from Robin Lynde and photography by Jock Hamilton, these very different art forms will demonstrate the dramatic impact of a limited black and white palette.
Lynde is a well-known weaver and sheep farmer in Solano County. Her Meridian Jacob sheep gave her the idea of a black and white theme. This rare breed of sheep is naturally white with black and gray spots, according to a press release from The Artery. Lynde sorts her sheep's wool by color and uses two local mills to spin the fiber into black and white yarn. With her artistry, she creates striking patterns for her blankets, scarves, shawls and bags
Weaving black and white into photographs was Hamilton's start in serious photography. He developed and printed film at the Silo Craft Center, UC Davis. Although most of his work at The Artery has been in color, this show is a link to the past. Jock now uses modern technology, digital cameras and pigment-based printers. He is including some of his older traditional silver gelatin, selenium toned back and white prints.
The exhibit will remain open at The Artery, located at 207 G St., through Oct. 24. A meet the artists reception will take place on Oct. 14 from 7 to 9 p.m.
