Wonderland meets Wicked!
A young woman. A white rabbit. And a journey to a strange new land. You may think you know Wonderland, but this rabbit hole holds many surprises, and this time they aren’t for Alice!
Cordelia isn’t interested in love—not when there is so much to learn about the world around her! So when a mysterious rabbit appears just as her latest suitor gets down on one knee, Cordelia is all too happy to follow—wherever the rabbit may lead. But even Cordelia can’t imagine what she’ll find when she arrives in Wonderland-a colorful cat with an enormous smile, a bubble blowing caterpillar full of riddles, and a pair of would-be royals who whisk Cordelia into a world of bright colors, fantastic creatures, and excitement like she’s never known. But a chance encounter with a charming hat maker will change the course of Cordelia’s life…and her feelings about love. And when the King of Hearts announces a grand prize to whomever can behead the dreaded Jabberwock, Cordelia and her new friend use the magic around them to save Wonderland…and the Jabberwock’s head. But if Cordelia accepts her prize, and becomes the Queen of Hearts, will she lose the heart she gave to her one true love? And when a girl named Alice shows up in Wonderland, will Cordelia—and everyone around her—lose their heads?​
Track and Field
Time: 75 minute full length of 40 minute one act
Cast: 5-26+ any gender
The wind in your hair, legs burning, arms pumping, trying to get ahead, doing everything it takes to win the race…but what if the real race isn’t run on a track? What if the thing you’re actually chasing is…your future?
It’s the last track meet of the year and as the athletes warm up for their events, they contemplate what lies ahead—for some it’s having enough extracurriculars or wracking up followers on social media or getting up the courage to ask their crush to prom. But for others, more serious obstacles lie ahead, and they’re much harder to jump over than a bunch of aluminum hurdles—from worries about leaving high school, to family troubles, to vicious rumors, to long distance relationships. Through a series of interconnected scenes, TRACK AND FIELD speaks to the fears and dreams of students leaving high school behind and making their way into the world, and reminds us all that sometimes the finish line is just the beginning.
