WHY IS THIS PLAY BEST FOR YOUR SCHOOL?

Easy Choice! Top Quality! All of these plays were professionally developed by ArtReach Touring Theatre or were commissioned by Professional LORTS like Florida Rep and Rep of St. Louis.  All have had professional tours to theatres and schools across the country.  Many have won awards in High School One Act Play Contests, Drama and Thespian Speech and Theatre Competitions.

Easy Staging and Travel!  Competitions rarely take place on your own stage!  These One Act Plays have been designed to travel to the Contest Host Theatre on that important competition day. All have easy staging, simple sets & costumes, minimal props, flexible tech for a mainstage or gym/open facility performance space.  At last your students can worry about their performance, not the set!

  Easy to Adapt with Flexible Casting!  When you license any of our One Act Plays you have permission to cut, adapt and adjust cast size!  You also have permission to make a video or DVD of the production!  At last, you are allowed to adapt a play to your students' needs!

Easy Budget!  These One Act Plays, can be successfully produced on limited budgets and by small or expanded student casts with little or no tech assistance.  Many have great background CDs for an easy, inexpensive professional touch! 

Easy Ordering!  Follow the steps to order and pay your royalty, once you've paid,  you're good to go!  No complicated applications and the endless trouble of getting permission to make changes for your students' needs!

Tried and True!  Our One Act Plays have been performed literally thousands of times by many professional theatres such as Stella Adler Theatre, Solano Youth Theatre, Nebraska Theatre Caravan, Singapore Repertory Theatre, George Street Players, Fulton Theatre Company, Indiana Repertory Theatre, Boarshead Theatre, Virginia Stage, Honolulu Theatre for Youth, Kennedy Center and Sundance Children's Theatre, to name a few.  High Schools, Junior Highs, Middle Schools have been performing these plays for over 30 years!

ALICE IN WONDERLAND
DIALOGUE SAMPLE
Expanded Cast Version

The story is just as you remember it... Here is Alice meeting the White Rabbit and our clever storytellers keeping the action moving.

RABBIT:  Who are you?

ALICE:  That's not a very polite way of introducing yourself, you know. (Stands and curtseys.) My name is Alice. How do you do?

RABBIT:  Humph! Whatever are you doing in my rabbit hole? I suppose you're going to say you fell from the sky.

ALICE:  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:  Yes, exactly like that. And he ran into his rabbit hole and I followed him. It was the most extraordinary rabbit hole. Why, I was afraid I might fall right through the earth!

RABBIT:  Must have been a very remarkable rabbit.

ALICE:  Oh no, there was nothing so very remarkable about him except that he had a...

(RABBIT takes out his watch.)

...watch in his waistcoat pocket!

RABBIT:  Like this one?

STORYTELLERS:  Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock.

ALICE:  Yes. And he kept saying...

RABBIT:  Oh dear, oh dear, I shall be too too late!

ALICE:  Yes!

RABBIT:  Well, good-bye.

ALICE:  I'm sure you mean, hello. I only just got here.

RABBIT:  Good-bye, hello, good-bye, hello, good-bye, hello.

ALICE:  I wish you'd make up your mind.

RABBIT:  No time.  No time for that.  Oh, my ears and whiskers, how late it's getting!

ALICE:  Late for what?

RABBIT:  Difficult to say. Very very difficult to say.

ALICE:  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:  But wait!

(SHE follows behind the banner and emerges on the other side, walking backwards, looking where HE went.)

He's gone. How very strange.

STORYTELLER #2:  Alice found herself in a long low hall...

STORYTELLER #3:  Which was lit up by a row of lamps hanging from the roof.

STORYTELLER #1:  And along one wall she found...

ALICE:  Doors!

(ALICE knocks on one.  STORYTELLERS make "knock, knock" sound.)

I guess nobody's home.  I'll just open one of them and...

(Turns knob, it is locked.)

Locked.  Oh, well, surely this one will lead me to...

(Locked again.)

Maybe this one...

(Runs around frantically trying to open the locked doors.)

Oh, dear, I must have fallen miles and miles! I must be somewhere near the center of the earth.  And now all these doors. How will I ever get back home? Dinah will be wanting her saucer of milk just now.

STORYTELLER #2:  (Places stool as table while speaking.)  Suddenly she came upon a little three legged table, all made of glass.

STORYTELLER #3:  (Placing key.) There was nothing on it but a tiny golden...

ALICE:  Key!
