Call for Auditions
Alice in Wonderland
Epping Community Theater Announces Auditions for its
next Main Stage Production
As the play begins, Alice slides into view at the end of her long fall down the rabbit-hole. It is a more delightful place for the audience than for Alice, who is trying desperately to get back home. She tries to get help from the Mad Hatter, the Rabbit, the very nice Cheshire Cat and many other familiar characters.
This classic production will include casting opportunities for eager performers ages 8 and up.
Auditions will be held at Watson Academy in Epping, NH
Sunday January 5th, 2025 starting at 1:00pm
Tuesday January 7th 2024 starting at 6:30pm

There MAY also be cold readings, not everyone will be asked to read at auditions.
