Youth Theater Auditions for Play Alice@Wonderland This Week!
Tomorrow September 12 and Wednesday September 14th Center Stage Jackson's Youth Theater program will be holding auditions for the play Alice@Wonderland !
What would happen if a 21st century Alice collided
with Lewis Carroll’s legendary Wonderland? This modern retelling of
the classic children’s story has all of the characters you know and
love, including the Mad Hatter, the White Rabbit and the Queen of
Hearts. The story is laid out in traditional style, except that Alice is
distinctly contemporary, complete with cell phone in hand. Full of
references to text messaging and social media, the play imagines a
present-day Alice encountering the Wonderland so
many of us treasure. A sharply told, crisply paced ride, this quality
adaptation has been praised for its humor, modern style and appeal to
both children and adults.
