Synopsis: “Wonderphase: a Musical of Madness,” is a tale of teen angst, self-discovery, and found family set to a pop/punk score. Mason and his friends Rowan and Hank (who are struggling with perfectionism and the overwhelming daily pressures of school and adolescence) discover an old top hat belonging to Mason’s estranged father. The hat, complete with a cryptic riddle, transports the friends into a Wonderland of magic, princesses, queens, gnomes, and more. The friends set out on a revealing quest of understanding themselves, and Mason uncovers more than he bargained for about his father.
