Featuring Rex Lewis-Clack as the Narrator and the talented Rex & Friends performance ensemble, the show comes to life through a lively collection of iconic songs spanning the 1960s to the present day. Together, the funny and heartwarming script and memorable music bring energy, humor, and emotion to Alex’s journey, making Alex in Wonderland a joyful celebration of friendship, individuality, and finding the courage to be yourself.

Rex & Friends provides support and training in musical abilities, and performance opportunities for individuals in Southern California who are blind or autistic. Both of these disabilities tend to isolate, and the program is geared to help bridge this isolation. We bring these musicians together and provide ongoing professional support and guidance. Participants develop musical repertoire in an environment that is sure to grow friendships, self-esteem, and skill while rehearsing and ultimately performing in front of live audiences.
