All this month, the famous Green-Wood Cemetery's celebrating the 150th anniversary of Alice in Wonderland. Every weekend, starting today, people are welcome to Dark Wonderland. It's an after dark performance series among the gravestones. The event starts with a twilight tour of the graveyard, and ends with a spotlight show with a different artist every day.
