Bisbee’s Obscure Productions Auditions for “Bisbee’s Obscure Alice”
Bisbee’s Obscure Productions will have open auditions for their own “Alice in Wonderland” on February 16 and 17. This is a chance for actors young to old to play some great characters and have great fun entertaining friends, relatives and warm, friendly perfect strangers.
C. Gilles-Brown is adapting the original Lewis Carroll, and together the company will give this show a distinctive BOP feel. Gilles adapted and directed the outdoor BOP show “Aladdin” and “A Christmas Carol” for the original Bisbee Rep. She last appeared onstage in “I Hate Hamlet” and most recently directed Agatha Christie’s “And then there were none…”
Auditions will be held in the O.J. Squffy Theater at Central School Project, 43 Howell Ave. in Old Bisbee on Saturday and Sunday, February 16 and 17, beginning at 2:00 pm each day.
Actors ages 8 and up are asked to come prepared to deliver a one- to three-minute memorized piece, not original work. This piece could be a rhyme or poem, story or theater monologue. Come prepared to move. Children under the age of 8 will be considered if they have theater or dance training. Rehearsals will be Thursday evenings and weekend afternoons until performance. Dress rehearsal and performance dates are April 15 – May 9, 2013. The book for “Alice in Wonderland” is available many places online.
