chorus, and an extremely stubborn doorknob. I was challenged to a game of croquet by a Queen who would cut off your HEAD if something does not go her way. The Queen has servants made of playing cards who do her will and paint her roses. I even met a cat whose smile was too big for its body and could disappear in the blink of an eye! It may not seem real but it happened. Wonderland is as real as you and me are, even though it doesn’t seem possible.

Dr. White: That is just it Alice! Wonderland is completely improbable! All those people y-

Alice: When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.

Dr. White: Don’t quote Sherlock Holmes to me, when he isn’t even a real person!

Alice: He was real to Arthur Conan Doyle. (She said in a smug tone)

Dr. White: Maybe… but Wonderland is not a story, and you are not an author.

Alice: But Wonderland is real for me. Just because you stopped believing doesn’t mean I do.

Dr. White: Alice- (Stands up sighing)

Alice: NO! I will not let YOU decide what I believe in, what I care about. Wonderland will always be real, whether I am chasing a rabbit or drinking tea with madmen.. Whether flowers sing or caterpillars smoke or cats smile or none of it was real at all. It doesn’t matter because I had an adventure. Whether you think I’m insane or just imaginative. If you think my curiosity and imagination just ran away with me. What does it matter if the sky is blue or purple? Or whether the grass is green or clouds float? Why do YOU care how I see the world? I don’t care what you or anyone thinks because, you know what, I am happy! I am curious. I am creative. I am wild………… and just a little bit Mad. (Smirks at the audience) (Runs off stage).
