Place: Briefly in the Emerald City of Oz, then on to Wonderland. Ideally, the Emerald City scene in ACT ONE, Scene One would be the one scene with a different look. This can be accomplished by playing this opening scene before the curtain or by placing a removable backdrop in front of the Wonderland backdrop. Starting in ACT ONE, Scene Two, the entire rest of the show can be played before a single backdrop depicting the abundant beautiful and strange flora and fauna of Wonderland. Simple props are quickly brought on to give each scene a unique look and sense of place. For instance, at the tea party, a table with settings for tea is brought on. At the trial, tables and chairs are brought on to create the look of a courtroom. Specifically, a mushroom stool is required for CATERPILLAR in ACT ONE, Scene Two. A short wall is required for HUMPTY DUMPTY to sit on in ACT ONE, Scene Three. On the reverse side, the wall is made up 72 iii RIGHTS MUST BE PURCHASED BEFORE REPRODUCING THIS SCRIPT to be a hedge with white and red roses for the QUEEN’S rose garden CATCHING ALICE RED-HANDED in ACT ONE, Scene Eight and ACT TWO, Scene Three. A rock or bush is This stage illusion is very simple. Just have ALICE’S hand smeared needed for ACT ONE, Scene Seven and ACT TWO, Scene Two. A great with a little bit of red prior to her entrance. She will need to keep her tree is also needed for ACT TWO, Scene Two. hands concealed for a few lines, but this means KNAVE OF HEARTS doesn’t need to worry about sneakily smearing her hands mid-scene. SYNOPSIS OF SCENES Of course, if you prefer, you can do it that way. ACT ONE CROQUET Scene One: Goodbye, Emerald City (can be played before the curtain) If possible, it would be great fun to use flamingos as mallets, Scene Two: The Live Garden hedgehogs for balls and the CARDS as the arches, just like it is in Scene Three: The Tin Man’s Arrest Alice in Wonderland. The flamingos could be either the iconic plastic Scene Four: The Battle lawn ornament flamingos or painted cutouts. All that is needed for the Scene Five: The Good Witch hedgehogs is round, fluffy stuffed animals. Scene Six: A Mad Tea Party If you wish to use proper croquet equipment instead, the lines may be Scene Seven: The Stolen Tarts adjusted to suit your needs. Scene Eight: Painting the Roses Red CHARACTER NOTES Scene Nine: The Great Oz The MAD HATTER and MARCH HARE, admittedly, don’t make much sense. But that’s the point. They are mad. And while great care has ACT TWO been taken to question whether they are really mad or actually quite Scene One: A Mad Adventure (played before the curtain) clever but misunderstood, their apparent madness remains. The best Scene Two: Directions from an Old Friend advice here is to own it. Play the part the way that makes sense to Scene Three: Croquet you. Get into their imagination. Get into their worries and concerns. Scene Four: The Trial The only way that these parts can be played incorrectly is to play it safe and hold back. So go for it, whatever direction that may be, and more importantly, have fun with it. The same goes for every other character. Go for it and have fun! NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR As a former teacher of English literature, I feel I would be missing a perfect teaching opportunity if I didn’t recommend the reading of the great works that inspired this play. For further enjoyment and understanding of the play, I highly recommend that you have your cast and/or student audiences read Alice in Wonderland, Through the Looking Glass and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Lewis Carroll and L. Frank Baum also wrote many additional works worthy of reading, and of course their work inspired many stage and film adaptations. All of their work is now firmly established as classic literature. Very fun and meaningful reading, familiarity with these original sources will add a great deal to the appreciation of this play. iv 71 THE WIZARD’S HOUSE SEQUENCE OF MUSICAL NUMBERS In ACT ONE, Scene Nine, the WIZARD’S house can be as simple as PROLOGUE a free-standing door defining the front of the house. Characters pass MC1 Two Worlds .......................................Ensemble through the door and “into” the house, though the interior does not ACT ONE require anything more than the screen that the Wizard hides behind. MC1a Flight of the Balloon–Underscore ........Instrumental The scene can also be played without any set pieces. Simply use the MC1b White Rabbit–Entrance ......................White Rabbit far side of the stage apron as the entryway. When characters “enter” MC2 Somehow, Some Way .........................Dorothy, Scarecrow, the house, they simply step onto the stage. DOROTHY can knock on Tin Man, Lion the stage wall. MC2a The Tornado–Underscore ...................Instrumental CHASING THE CHESHIRE CAT MC2b White Rabbit–Entrance ......................White Rabbit The chasing of the CHESHIRE CAT is meant to be a fun way to show MC2c White Rabbit–Entrance ......................White Rabbit how the cat can vanish into thin air.

  • Alice in Wonderland Reasoning
    GEOMETRY Name: ________________________ Reasoning Activity – CHP. 2 Hour: _________ REASONING in LITERATURE Watch a short video clip from “Alice in Wonderland” : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oupIOmnLJs&feature=player_embedded • Watch for “awkward sayings”, instances of deductive/inductive reasoning, uses of Law of Detachment, or Law of Syllogism. Consider the following passage from Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter VII, “A Mad Tea Party.” "Then you should say what you mean." the March Hare went on. "I do," Alice hastily replied; "at least -- at least I mean what I say -- that's the same thing, you know." "Not the same thing a bit!" said the Hatter, "Why, you might just as well say that 'I see what I eat' is the same thing as 'I eat what I see'!" "You might just as well say," added the March Hare, "that 'I like what I get' is the same thing as 'I get what I like'!" "You might just as well say," added the Dormouse, who seemed to be talking in his sleep, "that 'I breathe when I sleep' is the same thing as 'I sleep when I breathe'!" "It is the same thing with you," said the Hatter, and here the conversation dropped, and the party sat silent for a minute. Lewis Carroll, the author of Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, was a mathematics teacher who had fun playing around with logic. In this activity, you’ll investigate some basic ideas from logic and perhaps have some fun too. 1. Express each of the following statements from the Mad Tea Party as a CONDITIONAL in “if … then” form, CONVERSE, INVERSE and CONTRA POSTIVE.
