Alice@Wonderland needs more actors

Mid Michigan Family Theatre's musical production of Alice@Wonderland is looking for actors of all ages to fill out its cast. For more information  please contact the director, Nancy Sisson: [email protected].

Production dates are March 13 through March 22, 2015 with shows on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

About the musical: The folly of the 21st century collides with the madness of Wonderland in this rockin’ new musical adaptation that remains fairly faithful to Lewis Carroll’s original tale.  The twist?  Alice is a texting, tweeting and Googling girl of the modern digital era, yet she finds herself in the Wonderland of old.  With all of the characters you know and love including the Mad Hatter, the White Rabbit and the Queen of Hearts, this musical imagines a present-day Alice encountering the Wonderland so many of us treasure.  Meanwhile, the younger generation will appreciate and relate to the many references to texting and social networking.  And the contemporary sounding new score by beloved composer Bill Francouer and lyricist Scott DeTurk will delight all. A sharply told, crisply paced ride, this quality adaptation has been praised for its humor, artistic modern style and appeal to both children and adults.

Director Nancy says, "I'd love to have families join us.  The only condition I have on casting is that they be a minimum of 8 years old. Right now, everyone is guaranteed a speaking part.  There are 27 parts and I had 3 girls audition. If I don't have some people who want small roles everyone will be part of the chorus as well. The major speaking parts are: Alice, White Rabbit, March Hare, Mad Hatter, Doors, Flowers, King and Queen of Hearts, Caterpiller and 2 Cheshire cats.  There's more but that gives a good idea of what is needed."

"Rehearsals will NOT using the Schmidt Center for this, but will bounce between Happendance and Bill's church in Okemos/Haslett.  AND I'm still not sure which nights.  We will try to schedule rehearsals so that we have as few cast members missing as possible.  Outside of that, I'm waiting to see what night have the most conflicts by cast members.
Hope that helps.  Thanks for your push on this.”
