The classic 1951 family feature film Alice in Wonderland screens Monday, Dec. 31 at 11:30 a.m. at the Katharine Cornell Theatre as part of the Last Night, First Day celebrations.
Based on the 1865 book by Lewis Carroll, this is the classic Disney animated version of Alice’s adventures as she follows a white rabbit into a wonderland of her own imagination. On her journey, she encounters the Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat, and a host of other beloved characters brought to life with the usual Disney zest.

Shel Silverstein’s thoughts on . . .
Fashion: “Who is this ‘they’ and what difference does it make what they’re wearing? I’ll wear what I want to wear.”
Explaining his work: “You should never explain the philosophy behind anything you do, it’s not important. If your work is weak and needs to be explained, it’s not clear enough.”
Timing: “It’s just as disastrous to be way ahead of your time as to be way behind.”
