Based on Alice In Wonderland and Alice Through The Looking Glass

A family orientated version of Alice’s adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-glass with original music by Ian D Crew.  Many of the much-loved characters from the famous books by Lewis Carroll will be appearing to play croquet; dance the  lobster quadrille, the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party and the caucus race; and end up in court in search of the Queen of Hearts’ Tarts.

These auditions are open to both members and non-members of The Exmouth Players.  Thus, they are open to you all regardless of experience and whether you have acted before or not.  These auditions are also to children.

The information below has been provided by the Director, Nick Lawrence:

We are well on the way with the planning for our production of “Alice!”   Please note the date of the auditions.  As the composer will need to be in attendance there will be no opportunity for other audition dates.

It seems obvious to point out by the role of Alice Liddell* is rather large – she appears on almost every page!  Any actor wishing to audition for this role must be available for every rehearsal.

Here’s a list of the other characters involved (many of these are intended to be doubled especially as many only appear in one scene) *indicates the roles that have solo songs and therefore must be able to put over a song.  Most other roles are involved in singing ensembles.
