We understand that with family vacations and other activities, students often think nothing of missing a class or two
during summer school; however, it is impossible for us to stage a big production without a full commitment to our
rehearsal schedule from every member of the cast. With that in mind, please be aware that missing more than a
class/rehearsal or two for any reason will likely mean the re-assignment of your part and may jeopardize your ability to
appear on stage.
BACKSTAGE CREW: Those who are unable to commit to all rehearsals or do not have a desire to appear on stage are
encouraged to join us on the backstage crew. You are not required to register for the class but must attend all rehearsals
and performances starting August 1st. Spaces are limited so contact Mr. McCulloch if interested in helping behind the
scenes ASAP. Please call Jim McCulloch at 608-758-0297 ex 5 or email jim@janesvillepac.org for questions or

Cheshire Cat: Alice is about to discover that Wonderland is far more than what she expected. It’s a land of racing
lobsters, singing flowers, painting cards, and even a Cheshire cat…that’s me. But I come into the story later. Alice’s
journey to Wonderland begins with a pallid, long eared, carrot munching, quadruped known only as…The White Rabbit.
Alice followed the White Rabbit to the edge of the rabbit hole. She jumped into the dark rabbit hole and fell for what
seemed like 3 and half weeks. More like 4 and a quarter. She fell and fell and fell. But she wasn’t alone. Finally, Alice
landed right in front of a very little door.
Alice: Should I or shouldn’t I? You know what they say “If you don’t explore, you will never discover.” But my sister
Mathilda always says “Look before you leap.” Well I’m looking and it looks pretty deep and dark and I can’t see the
bottom and maybe it goes all the way to the center of the Earth and Ill be burnt to a crisp in the molten core like the bad
marshmallow we have heard so much about…. Or not. Okay, I looked, now I am going to leeeeeeap. Hmm. I don’t
really know what is in this bottle, but it looks so pretty. It could be poison, or mayonnaise, or floor polish, or a frothy
combination of all 3. But I have to find the White Rabbit. What to do…what to do. Oh well, if you don’t explore, you will
never discover.
Caterpillar: Don’t let those babbling blooms get you down, kid. Don’t you know, beauty is just a surface thing? Who you
really are- what you’re worth- resides much, much deeper. Those fleeting flowers are just gonna wind up sitting around
in somebody’s imitation, cut glass vase for 3 days ‘til they wither and die, then its “Thanks a lot” and out with the
garbage! Am I right? But enough about them. Whooo, pray tell, are youuu? Me…? I am the Caterpillar, kiddo. Your
wonder of wonders, your miracle of miracles, your happy, happy day. Alice, adventure doesn’t always make sense. But it
doesn’t mean you stop exploring. The caterpillar is gonna share 2 magical, hyphenated, little words with you guaranteed
to make even your very worst day simply, absolutely, fabulous! Ready? Repeat after me: Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah, Zip-A-Dee-
