Auditions for Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland are open to budding young actors and actress between the ages of 10 and 18 years old.

Classic Acts Children’s Theater productions are gaining quite a name for themselves after putting out numerous quality kids plays around the Denver CO area.

Auditions Tuesday, Sept. 7 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m.
Parker Mainstreet Center
19650 E. Mainstreet
Parker CO 80134

If you like to be involved behind the scenes of shows, that’s fabulous! They have a place for you as well. If you are artistic, they will put you to work creating and designing sets, costuming and stage makeup. Are you more mechanically inclined? How about helping with the stage crew, lighting, curtains or sound. Have fun and get great experience to put on your resume when you hit Broadway.

“Based on Lewis Carroll’s original book, this play tells the delightful story of Alice’s dream about a magical place and the very unusual characters she meets, including the White Rabbit, Mad Hatter, Cheshire Cat, Queen of Hearts and other hilarious creatures in Wonderland! “

Classic Acts asks that you stay for the entire audition period in order to be considered for one of more than 30 parts in the show.

Rehearsals will be held every Tuesday and Thursday, Sept. 7 through Oct. 16 from 4:30-6:30 p.m. at the Mainstreet Center. There will be a $75 participation fee due if selected to be a member of the cast or crew.

Oct. 16 at 2 p.m. and 6 p.m.
Tickets are $5 for ages 3 and up and will be available on Sept. 9 at the Mainstreet Center and online at www.ParkerRec.com.

Auditions for Missoula Childrens Theater Princess and the Pea

February 4, 2009 By 1 Comment
Missoula Childrens Theater

These productions are just fabulous, my daughters acted in them from age 3 up. They are very intense and remember that often over 100 kids show up to audition for 30 parts.  The staff is wonderful in trying to make everyone feel like they succeeded but there are still lots of tears so as a parent be ready for that.  The secret to getting into the productions is to show the directors that you can pay CLOSE attention and do EXACTLY what they tell you to do when you get called to talk or sing or dance.  If your child does make it it’s an amazing experience for you both.

Missoula Children’s Theater staff will audition local children in kindergarten through high school on Monday, Feb. 16 at 4 p.m. at the Parker Mainstreet Center, 19650 E. Mainstreet.
