Alice's Looking Glass  Plays for Young Audiences
SPOOF. In this spoof of Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass, Alice enters Wonderland through a mirror her mother bought at Goodwill. In Wonderland, Alice meets a marching March Hare and a Dormouse who are on their way to the Mad Hatter’s un-birthday party but have forgotten the candles. At the party, Alice has to suffer through the narcissistic Mad Hatter’s bad jokes. Ditching the party, Alice meets a grumpy Cheshire Cat, who endlessly grins because he has had too many BOTOX injections. Then “twins” Tweedledee and Tweedledum argue over their prospective career paths. Finally, Alice is forced to play Go Fish! with the Queen of Hearts, who brazenly cheats at cards. Sick of Wonderland, Alice returns home, but it’s not long before the residents of Wonderland stop by to hang out in Alice’s bedroom. Alice manages to send them all on their way except for one who is in search of a litter box! Easy to stage.
Please remember it is necessary to purchase one script for each cast
member and one royalty for each performance.
