Kids invited to act out

Youths between the ages of six and 14 are invited to audition for a role in the South Shuswap Children’s Theatre Foundation

Youths between the ages of six and 14 are invited to audition for a role in the South Shuswap Children’s Theatre Foundation (SSCTF) adaptation of the Lewis Carroll classic, Alice in Wonderland.

A range of roles available, and no formal acting experience is necessary. Artistic director Ann Skelhorne brings a wealth of experience to the SSCTF and will work with the kids to develop their characters and learn performance skills that they will carry with them into the future.

Auditions will be held Friday, Nov. 22, at the Blind Bay Marketplace. Audition packages for each of the primary characters are available on the SSCTF website at http://sschildrenstheatre.com.

Production details including information about commitments and rehearsal and performance schedules can also be found on the website. Advance online registration is required for all auditions.

Children may select one or more roles for their audition, but need to arrive prepared with their lines memorized and ready to put on their best performance.

There will also be opportunities for kids who want to work behind the scenes in set design, props, stage management, and more.

Alice In Wonderland is currently scheduled for three performances in June 2014.

The non-profit group was founded this year to provide an opportunity for youth to take part in the theatre experience.

The stage door is always open to new volunteers and sponsors for this season’s production.
