Alice out of Wonderland

Once again, I can't remember the beginning of this dream, but the earliest I can come in would be...
There were auditions in a church building for Alice in Wonderland. Even though the play would be done in the community without any professionals, our funds never seemed to be a problem. So we were fortunate enough to be able to have any and all the materials that we wanted for our play.
i was in the play as Alice. I was wearing the blue dress and white apron and did my very best to act well for the sake of the play. At some point something or someone from the audience attacked me and I was rescued from the chandelier that hung above the set. Someone lowered it and I grabbed on to be pulled up just as a dark shadow passed below me then disappeared. The audience was frightened so I let myself down and pretended it was part of the play to assure the audience they were in no danger, though I myself wasn't sure.
I walked out of the play at some point and discovered that I was in a church building as I found myself in a hallway. The play was taking place in what would be the primary room of my homeward's church building. I walked around the building to come to the gymnasium and remembered that something dark was chasing me. I seized my the moment I had to hide, and slid under the stage where they kept all of the chairs, resting on cold metal carts. I wriggled myself to the very back and kept quiet, trying to ignore the uncomfortable metal that I leaned against; they felt like threatening knives being held to my back. I stopped breathing when I heard the perpetrator walking past my hiding place, it's claws leaving scratched in the floor and making a sickening scraping noise as it walked.

I don't remember anything else.
