ALICE
IN WONDERLAND
WHY
IS THIS PLAY BEST FOR YOUR SCHOOL?
Written
especially for young people to perform.
While
you may find large cast plays from other publishers, most of those
were originally written for adults or
professional actors to
perform. They often contain difficult dialogue, unfamiliar or
complex language, and speeches too long for young children to
memorize. They may even contain jokes, innuendos and subject matter
that may not be appropriate for children.
Easy
to understand and memorize.
Dialogue
is simple, fresh, quick and humorous, keeping the action flowing
without stops and starts between scenes. This keeps young people and
young audiences engaged throughout the performance - no awkward
pauses, no dead-time, no wiggles!
Everyone
participates!
All
children are involved throughout the performance. This builds
confidence, promotes team spirit and eliminates rehearsal rowdiness.
The audience is often asked to join in the fun, and action often
spills into the aisles! All of our SCHOOL PLAYS give suggestions on
how to divide up large parts (such as Alice or Cinderella) among
several performers so that no one child is the "star".
Familiar
stories with upbeat endings.
The
story line stays as close as possible to the familiar story the kids
already know. While some authors feel the need to
"improve" the story, our SCHOOL PLAYS stay as close to the
familiar narrative as possible, making it easier for children - and
your audience - to understand.
Feel
free to edit! Go ahead and tape it!
Most
publishers insist that no changes may be made to their scripts.
We know that your
goal is to engage every child in the most meaningful way and that
your needs are unique. Cut, eliminate, re-assign lines, or add
as much as you like! Also, there are no restrictions on video
tapes. Parents want a tape or DVD to remember their child's big
moment. Go ahead and tape away!

ALICE
IN WONDERLAND
A
NOTE FROM THE PLAYWRIGHT
In
the past few years we've seen a
tremendous increase of confidence in the teachers we hear from.
Most are finding it easier to let the process flow and worry less
about the final product. I firmly believe that the experience
will be best for all when you keep a few things in mind:
Free
yourself from worry about
whether or not it's "good". No one is paying big
ticket prices; no one expects a Broadway success. The key to
making this project meaningful is to put the emphasis on process;
realize that rehearsal and practice are as much a part of the
experience as the actual performance. Encourage fun and you
will free the children from embarrassment and stress. If the
kids can't learn the lines let them carry a script or use their own
words to convey the character's message. If they seem to wander
the stage, let them explore where they want to go - they might
surprise you with a wonderful idea. In every aspect of the
process give them the wings to create and think. Give them a
comfortable, supportive place to go and their confidence and
self-expression will soar!
Above
all else, make sure you are
having fun. If you've never directed a play before, don't
worry. It's all just pretend -- you can't do it wrong!
The quality of your experience is every bit as important as that of
the children. You need the joy of self-expression too, that
doesn't go away when we grow up. So give yourself a break.
And when all else fails, laugh!
Thank
you so much for choosing Alice
in Wonderland.
I hope you and your young friends have as much fun performing this
play as I did writing it.

DIALOGUE
SAMPLE
|
The
story is just as you remember it... Here is Alice meeting the White
Rabbit and our clever storytellers keeping the action moving.
(Script
pages 12-13) |
RABBIT:
Who are you?
ALICE #1:
That's not a very polite way of introducing yourself.
RABBIT:
Whatever are you doing in my rabbit hole? I suppose you're going to
say you fell from the sky.
ALICE #1:
Well no, as a matter of fact I remember chasing a rabbit... he was
running so fast and saying...
RABBIT:
Oh, my ears and whiskers!
ALICE #1:
Yes, exactly like that. And he had a pocket watch...
(RABBIT
takes out his watch.)
RABBIT:
Like this one?
ALICE #1:
Yes. And he kept saying...
RABBIT:
Oh dear, oh dear, I shall be too, too late! Well, good-bye.
ALICE #1:
I'm sure you mean, hello. I only just got here.
RABBIT:
Good-bye, hello, good-bye, hello...
ALICE #1:
I wish you'd make up your mind.
RABBIT:
No time. No time for that. I'm going to be late!
ALICE #1:
Late for what?
RABBIT:
Difficult to say. Very difficult to say.
ALICE #1:
But if you don't know what it is you are late for...
RABBIT:
No time for that now. Hello!
(Waves to
her as he exits behind screen.)
ALICE #1:
But wait!
(ALICE #1
follows RABBIT behind screen. ALICE #2 enters from other side
of screen.)
ALICE #2:
He's gone. How very strange.
BLUE:
Alice found herself in a long low hall...
GREEN:
Which was lit up by a row of lamps...
RED:
And along one wall she found...
(ORANGE &
PURPLE become doors. They stand in playing area with arms
making an arch above their heads.)
ALICE #2:
Doors!
(ALICE
knocks on ORANGE. Other STORYTELLERS "knock,
knock" sound using rhythm sticks.)
I guess
nobody's home. I'll just open one of them and...
(She tries
to turn PURPLE's knob, his fist, it is locked.)
Locked.
Oh, dear, how will I ever get back home?
(RED becomes
table by getting down on all fours.)
RED:
(Speaks as he becomes table.) Suddenly she came upon a
little three legged table, all made of glass.
ORANGE:
(Placing key on RED's back.) There was nothing on it but a
tiny golden...
ALICE #2:
Key!
