Looking Glass Land takes Lewis Carroll's original story Through the Looking Glass, and adds to it a huge helping of unabashed silliness. This delightful romp through Alice's looking glass retains all of the familiar characters, then introduces dozens of new ones: a baseball team, a gospel group called The Responsibilities, a train conductor, a peanut salesman, detectives, a Miss America, star struck tourist, plastic light saber knights and much more. This show is delightfully amusing and believable in a land that's not, and is sure to please the entire family.
Auditions are open to those ages 8 to 18. There are 30+ roles available.
Auditions are by appointment. Please call 429-4737 or email kids@bctheatre.org to schedule a 5 minute appointment between 7:00 and 8:30. Walk-ins welcome as time permits. Those wanting to work tech & stage crew should make an appointment to talk briefly with the director.
Please prepare a short (1 minute) memorized monologue, not from the show, to be performed as part of the audition process. A recent picture (school or candid) is requested, especially for those new to BCT. Females willing to play male roles should indicate this on their audition form.
Call backs will be Thursday, March 8th, 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. The director will let you know if you are invited to attend. Only those the director still has questions about will be called back.
