Alice is in big trouble. She fell asleep when she was supposed to be watching the chocolate for the Queen of Hearts' Halloween party, and the Jabberwock stole it all! Now she has to get it back before the party or it's off with her head... Featuring an array of famous Lewis Carroll characters (the White Rabbit, the Mock Turtle, Tweedledee and Tweedledum), and written in an appealing anapestic meter (a la Dr. Seuss), HalloWonderLand can be performed as a non-scary "haunted house" for children or as a short stage play.

High school is hard enough, but four teenage descendants of famous movie monsters find the experience unbearable. Ridiculed by their peers, their only sanctuary is the library and their only friend is the school librarian. But when transfer student Ginny befriends the "monster squad," the group learns how to be happy with who they are. The only people who threaten their newfound confidence are two school bullies who trick them into running for class officers knowing they'd never win. Set to the tune of a fun, contemporary score, Ginny helps her friends turn the situation around, sending a message to even the bullies about tolerance and the value of friendship.
