Authors’ Note WONDERLAND HIGH takes its jumping-off point from the “Alice” books by Lewis Carroll: “Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland” and “Through The Looking Glass. Our hero, Arthur, is metaphorically like “Alice” – he has been thrust into a strange place, in this case a new high school, just as he is starting his Senior Year. Getting used to a new environment is always difficult and it is easy to feel like an outsider. However, this new school is truly a little bit off. As you start working on your production of WONDERLAND HIGH, don’t be afraid to play up the “oddness.” The most successful productions we have seen have been drawn with bold strokes. WONDERLAND HIGH is a piece that allows for many creative interpretations, in costumes, sets and staging. You can be as stylized as you want. We’ve seen productions that rivaled Tim Burton’s film of “Alice in Wonderland in terms of color, make-up and costumes. We’ve seen productions using limited chromatic palettes of red, black and white. One particularly dramatic production was done in these colors throughout, until the end, as the stage burst into color as the cast embraced their individuality. We’ve seen Harajuku-inspired costumes that were great fun and gave the show the oddness that it embraces. Strange size props and set pieces have also been used to great effect. Have fun and let your imagination run wild! A couple of character notes: Arthur: Don’t play him too sweet or innocent. He’s a smart, “normal” guy. Alice: She should be a little hard-edged at the beginning of the show. (You might want to think of her “journey” as the reverse journey of the character of “Sandy” in “Grease.”) Likewise, Allison must not give away her true colors at the top of the show. She is hardedged, but we shouldn’t know that any of that is directed at Alice. Our first hint should be her behavior at the end of “Cheating,” of which Alice must remain unaware. Katt, like her antecedent: the caterpillar, is mystical and magical. She should revel and enjoy her powers. Don’t be afraid of physical comedy and the use of theatrical “bits” – especially when it involves Matt, April May, Dora and Stan and the “jocks.” We’ve seen productions that utilized “bop it” hammers, squirt guns and confetti – some with all of those and more. Again, BOLD STROKES are best – the crazier and more circus-like the feeling of the large numbers, the more meaningful will be the tighter, wistful moments. WONDERLAND HIGH is riffled (a portmanteau of “riddled” and “rife”) with allusions, not only to the “Alice” books, but to other writings by Lewis Carroll (“The Hunting of the Snark,” “Sylvie and Bruno” and actual events in his life, including the referencing of Lewis’ and Alice’s actual names as part of the script. Some are easy to spot, and some are more difficult. The most obtuse references sometimes are the most delightful when they are finally discovered. We’ve found it a fun exercise to have the cast share references they have discovered at the start of each rehearsal. This “six impossible things” before rehearsal can result in an increased depth of understanding of the show, and, more importantly, of the classic literary works that serve as its source material. We had a lot of fun weaving them into the script, and we hope that you and your cast (and your audiences) enjoy discovering them in your production! We’d love to hear about your favorites! We hope you have as much fun with your production of WONDERLAND HIGH as we had writing it! Break-a-leg! James & Jesse
