Walk on at start

Liz… you need to get out of the recycling. How long have you been in there?

Elizabeth. You’ve been in the box since Mad as a Hatter.

Seriously?

Oh, come on, that’s only—

Six months!

Liz, please come out of there. We miss you.

Costumes is a mess without you! At this point, I’m going to make Eiza the costumes lead.

Oh my gosh, stop. I know I’m stylish, but really, I don'‘t—

I was going to say because you have previous experience in the costumes department.

We’ve got to do something about Liz. She can’t stay in that box forever.

I know, I know… but what the heck do we even do?

Okay, think. What are some ways to get someone out of a box?

Physically removing them?

Elizabeth is not a cat.

Are you sure about that?

Laura, focus. I want to get her out of there by this evening. She can’t live in there much longer.

Ugh fine… what about luring her out?

With what?

Oh, doesn't she really like Cliff bars?

Okay, where can we find some?

I think I might’ve seen some in the makeup room, but I;m not sure.

(enter into the bright makeup room) What was that for?

The bright lights scare me… and someone is always turning them on!

Better?

Yeah.

Anyways, where’s the Cliff bars?

Hmm… I think I saw them… Aha!

Offstage yell after exiting makeup room

Look, it’s a baby seal!

Walk on and Eiza hands Liz a Cliff bar

Eiza.

I’m sorry! I know I wasn’t supposed to give her one, but she just looked so sad... I couldn’t help it! 

You just ruined our plan! Now she’ll never get out of the box/

I’m sorry…

Wait.

What is it? 

There might be one more way we can get Elizabeth out of the box.

Run onstage barefoot

Get out of the box or else the feet will get you!

I can’t believe that worked!

I know! She was even more scared than I thought she’d be!

It’ll be good to have her back in costumes.

Yeah, she was spending way too much time in that box. I mean, six months is crazy.

EIZA: Right? (singing) ~Oh I’ve been waiting so long for this moment baby~ I wonder what’ll happen to the box now that she’s out of it.  

Who knows? Maybe we’ll start actually using it for recycling stuff.
