The programs repeat Nov. 11 for the premiere show and Nov. 12 for the "3D" benefit. $15-$30. KRD Theater, 1387 S. Santa Fe Dr. 303-825-4847 or kimrobardsdance.com.

Through Saturday. Youngsters follow Alice down the rabbit hole in"Disney's Alice in Wonderland Jr."at the Parker Mainstreet Center. Presented by Inspire Creative Kids, the show is based on Disney's 1951 animated feature, but with a 2011 twist: The production uses "4-D" sensory techniques, like engaging the audience's sense of smell, to tell Lewis Carroll's classic tale. With familiar and updated tunes from the movie, including a rap by the Caterpillar. 7 p.m. tonight, 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. Saturday. Parker Mainstreet Center, 19650 E. Main St., Parker. $15 each. 303-790-0875 or visit inspirecreative.org.
In motion in Lakewood
Sunday. Hang out with the Cashore Marionette sin "Life in Motion"at the Lakewood Cultural Center.
