Disney's Alice In Wonderland, Jr. - Auditions

About the Show

You’ll love this magical Tell-A-Tale Production of Alice in Wonderland, where up is down and down is up. Of course, to get there you’ll need to tumble down the rabbit hole with Alice and watch as she encounters the ever-tardy White Rabbit, grinning Cheshire Cat, a cool Caterpillar, the wacky Mad Hatter and the testy Queen of Hearts. Whether this is your first experience with Alice or your hundredth, you’ll love this timeless story of adventure, imagination and fanciful fun!

Make Tell-A-Tale’s Alice In Wonderland a part of your summer schedule and plan your audition today! Any student currently in grades 3-5 is invited to be a part of the show. 

During auditions, groups of 4 children will be asked to sing their prepared song, perform their prepared monologue and read additional lines from the show. They’ll also learn a short dance, so they should be sure to wear shoes they can move in!
