Synopsis: Celia has a book report due on Monday; if she does not deliver, she doesn't get to be in the Spring Dance Recital. She takes on a delivery to a local audiobook recording studio to pay for a pre-written paper. An eccentric little rabbit of a man guides her through the studios. The first studio shows the Actor from Hell, the second studio reveals an author who begins to enchant her; she begins to see characters appear. Upon reaching Studio Three, she in fully involved. She tumbles headlong into an full blown 1830 enactment of Lewis Carroll's Mad Tea Party. Celia finds her way back to our world, and decides that listening to audiobooks is the way to open her imagination. Starring Michael York, Harlan Ellison and Efrem Zimbalist Jr.
