The image is an illustration promoting a live stage show called The Baddies. It features four main characters in a grassy, outdoor setting with mountains in the background. From left to right, there’s a witch wearing a yellow dress with a red scarf, holding a brown spellbook, and a crow flying beside her. Next to her is a ghostly figure in a top hat and chains. A large, green troll with shaggy fur and a club stands to the right, towering over a young girl. The girl, dressed in bright, colorful clothing, carries a bindle on a stick, as if she's on an adventure. In the top right corner, there's a red circle with the words "LIVE ON STAGE.

The Baddies

Maybole
Finished thinking. A group of actors performs an outdoor theatrical scene inspired by Alice in Wonderland. In the center, a woman dressed as Alice wears a blue and white checkered dress and apron, looking surprised. To her left, a performer in a large green bonnet and bright yellow and green costume holds a stuffed pig. On the right, a man dressed as the White Rabbit wears fluffy white pants, a red heart-patterned vest, and rabbit ears, striking a dramatic pose. The background includes a colorful painted backdrop of greenery, pink flamingos, and a whimsical tree, enhancing the fantastical atmosphere.
