Announcing our Spring 2026 musical Alice by Heart

Journey with us to the London Underground for a pop-rock retelling of Lewis Carroll’s classic story of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Set during WWII’s London Blitz, Alice Spencer faces love, loss, and grief through the imaginary world of Wonderland.

Come along with her the weekends of March 13-15 and 20-22, 2026.

In-person auditions for ages 10 and up are Saturday, Dec. 13

  • Read the audition packet. All participants should familiarize themselves with the first verse and chorus of Down the Hole. Links to vocals and accompaniment are included in the packet.

    Those who are interested in a principal or featured ensemble role should prepare a vocal piece for auditions (see the audition packet for specific information).

  • Sign up for an audition time. In-person auditions are open to participants ages 10 and up and will include a combination of vocal auditions, movement exercises, and script readings.

  • Complete the audition form. All participants should complete the form before auditions.

Auditions for ages 5-9 are via video

  • Participants ages 5-9 will audition via a video process outlined in the audition packet and embedded in the audition form.

  • A parent must also participate and will need to audition. A reminder that Alice by Heart contains mature themes related to loss, love, and imagination during wartime. We recommend that parents or guardians read the script or a synopsis before deciding whether it’s appropriate for children under age 10.

We can’t wait to share the stage with you again, whether you’re auditioning or enjoying the show from the audience!

Alice by Heart is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI (www.mtishows.com).
