Alice in Wonderland JR. Auditions
About the Show
Wonderland is coming to the PB&J Players stage, and we want YOU in it!
Sing at a mad tea party, race the ever-tardy White Rabbit, or stand your ground against the hot-tempered Queen of Hearts. Alice in Wonderland JR. brings Disney favorites like "The Golden Afternoon," "The Unbirthday Song," and "Painting the Roses Red" to life, and every character on that stage started right where you are: at the audition room door.
No experience necessary, just curiosity and a willingness to fall down the rabbit hole with us. Come as you are and get ready to get curiouser and curiouser!
