Jabberdoggy (and other made-up words)
by jm christiansen
The Spruce Creek High School theatre club is putting on a play, an adaption of Lewis Carroll's "Alice" stories. When AJ is cast as the fearsome Jabberwock, memorizing the famous poem awakens long-buried memories full of teeth, claws, and everything in between. As AJ prepares for opening night, an old hardship and an unlikely friendship collide — leaving AJ wondering if fear has been telling the wrong story. With humor, heart, and a touch of Carrollian wonder, JabberDoggy explores how the stories we tell — on stage and in our minds — shape our fears, and how friendship can help us rewrite them.
