For the student just getting to know theatre, or who can’t commit the whole weekend, this option allows young actors to participate without committing to months of full-weekend rehearsals.
You won’t get one of the leads, since you won’t be at all the rehearsals, but Traveling Players’ emphasis on ensemble means that you’ll be a fully-integrated member of the cast with lots to do.
Current 4th – 7th graders
These dedicated performers rehearse Saturdays & Sundays — tackling the bulk of the storytelling and larger roles in the play.
Students will learn acting techniques, physical theatre, and technical theatre as they make the magic of this play happen. This class is ideal for experienced actors, as well as eager and committed students new to acting.
Traveling Players presents Alice in Wonderland! In this imaginative adaptation, a group of young actors are looking for the lead of their next play, which happens to be Alice in Wonderland. Luckily, they find a girl named Alice backstage! Follow this group of intrepid thespians as they lead Alice down the rabbit hole and through an unusual place called “Wonderland” where Alice will encounter Lewis Carroll’s most iconic storybook characters: White Rabbit, Mad Hatter, Queen of Hearts, & one crazy cook!
Our rehearsals will include text analysis, acting exercises, movement workshops and improvisational games that explore the world of the play.
Alice in Wonderland requires an audition to enroll – for both Hares and Hatters.
There’s no need to prepare anything in advance. During auditions, you’ll read from the script and play some fun improvisation games.
There’s a $20 fee for the audition.
No need to stress out about the audition! We create a playful and supportive environment where returning Traveling Players can reconnect with friends and newcomers can be welcomed to our community. Our community develops acting skills in an environment noted for its commitment, creativity and kindness.
We’ve been told that Traveling Players auditions are the most fun auditions our kids have ever attended. We intend to keep it that way.
Our kids have taken classes year round. We have not found a better acting program. Our kids have built lasting friendships with fellow campers.— Parent
