LSD, the scourge of the '60's, has returned as one of the horrors of today's young adults. Here is a frightening depiction of an acid trip in one act. But like our other awareness plays this one grabs the attention of the audience before it turns on the warning. It begins by capturing the youthful audience. And then—they see what happens when all the glamorous lure is stripped naked. This is what LSD will do to you!

The story: Alice is given a sliver of LSD-soaked paper by a "friend" at a party. At home alone in her bedroom she knows she shouldn't put it in her mouth, but her curiosity is overwhelming.Little by little the drug takes effect. As she hallucinates, a toy bunny rabbit on her bed comes to life and taunts her and leads her on a trip. But this adventure in wonderland doesn't have tea parties and croquet games. It has horror. And it may save a life.

Greg West, the author, is a health education teacher and drama director who has worked with young people of all ages in varied educational settings.

For adult and young adult audiences (it's NOT a children's play). Objectional material may be changed to suit the situation. The set is Alice's bedroom; costumes are modern.

"This play is a riveting educational experience of LSD, alcohol abuse, and codependency."—Donna Moore, BYU Children's Book Review
