JTF '25 Alice In Wonderland, JR Audition Information
Auditions for Moorestown Theater Company’s Junior Theater Festival 2025 production of
Disney’s Alice in Wonderland JR. will take place on August 11th at First Methodist Church (446 E. Camden Ave., Moorestown, NJ 08057).
As this is a new process, and we will have many rehearsals before heading to Atlanta, and to JTF, there is a new registration requirement for this production. This registration component/fee is in addition to the JTF Festival/Travel fees. Before signing up for an Audition time slot, please register and pay in full for this production. The registration form can be found here.
Vocal auditions will take place from 6:30 PM - 8:15 PM. Please sign up for one 3-minute slot within that time frame. Vocal Audition Sign-Ups can be found here. Please arrive at least 10 minutes early to your time slot. After your vocal audition is over, actors are welcome to leave the building and come back for the dance audition at 8:15 PM, or stay until the dance audition begins.
All actors must fill out the actor agreement prior to auditioning. The actor agreement can be found here.
The audition material is divided into folders by character. In each folder, you will find sheet music for each character’s audition song as well as vocal tracks and the instrumental tracks that will be used during the audition. The casting team would prefer that the vocal audition songs be memorized so that actors can begin to make choices as they act through the songs they are auditioning with. Due to the nature of Alice, the casting team will be looking for bold, character-driven auditions. A link to the full Alice script that our JTF cut is based on can be found here and used for reference.
Actors should familiarize themselves with all of the audition songs in addition to the one that they prepare for their vocal audition. Actors may be asked to sing an additional song during their vocal audition time slot. All of the audition materials, including a character breakdown for the JTF cut, can be found at this link. Other actor materials such as the JTF ‘25 Script can be found at this link.
