We are producing a 90 minute non-musical comedy in the round from a script by Tony nominated writer Joseph Robinette (for Broadway's A Christmas Story - the musical). Of course we will add our own comedy touches to it.

Directed by Andrew Diskes

ABOUT THE PLAY: Two of literature's most unforgettable young ladies get mixed up together in a magical meeting that produces hilarious results as the audience becomes reacquainted with a cast of familiar characters and sees them in a new light: the Cowardly Lion, the White Rabbit, the Tin Man, the Mad Hatter, the Scarecrow, the Dormouse, the Queen and the Witch from those enduring classics The Wizard of Oz and Alice in Wonderland. This fun-filled romp follows Alice and Dorothy and their coteries as they try to unscramble their stories with the help of a contemporary young lad who started the whole thing to begin with when he put off a book report until the very last minute. With script and lyrics by award-winning children's playwright Joseph Robinette.
