Young Talent Wanted for "Alice In Wonderland Jr." Show
Children in 3rd through 8th grades are welcome to audition for "Alice In Wonderland Jr.". Please see the details below. About the project: Fall down the rabbit hole with Alice as she navigates the curious world of Wonderland on a journey of self-discovery. This 60-minute stage adaptation of the classic Disney animated film and the Lewis Carroll stories has been rewritten with an updated script and score made specifically for today’s young performers. When young Alice finds herself in a strange world where everything seems upside down, she must find her way home…and find herself along the way. As she travels through Wonderland, she encounters all of the iconic characters that audiences have come to love, including the ever-tardy White Rabbit, the grinning Cheshire Cat, a cool Caterpillar, the wacky Mad Hatter, and the hot-tempered Queen of Hearts. Additional info: Please be prepared to sing and act. The audition material is attached. Once directors finalize casting, a rehearsal schedule will be distributed with exact dates and times, but please plan on practicing every Wednesday from 4:30-6:30 and every Sunday from 2:00-4:30 for sure. Rehearsals on Fridays from 4:30 to 5:30 will also be held, but only on certain weeks and typically for only a few actors. Please do your best to make yourselves and your children available at these times. Attendance is so important to putting on the best show possible. If these times do not work for you and your child will be missing a lot of rehearsals, we ask that you please reconsider participation in this year’s show.
