Director’s Note: Alice is an ensemble piece, and there is flexibility for many of the roles for gender and age. The one thing that is necessary for the show is that people have the stamina to be on stage and running for 2 hours flat out. Patience is a virtue. A child’s heart is essential.
Audition Format: group auditions of up to 12 actors at one time. The audition will last about 50 minutes and may encompass improvisation, singing, physical movement, dance, and storytelling. Auditionees should wear comfortable movement clothing and footwear and bring water
