Devon here: I am including a synopsis from their website, plus a character breakdown I found online for those interested BUT my character breakdown did not come from Monson, so they may be making changes I don't know!

"ALICE IN WONDERLAND" Synopsis
Travel down the rabbit hole and join Alice, one of literature’s most beloved heroines, in her madcap adventures. Featuring updated songs from Disney’s thrilling animated motion picture, Disney’s Alice in Wonderland JR. is a fast-paced take on the classic tale.

The ever-curious Alice’s journey begins innocently enough as she chases the White Rabbit. Her adventures become increasingly more strange as she races the Dodo Bird, gets tied up with Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, raps with a bubble-blowing Caterpillar and beats the Queen of Hearts at her own game!

Roles are plentiful, including three Cheshire Cats and dozens of other wonderfully wacky characters, providing plentiful opportunities to showcase students of all different musical skill levels. A chorus of kids playing in the park, rock lobsters, talking fish, royal cardsmen, unbirthday partiers, as well as a group of mean-girl flowers, allows for a highly expandable cast size.

The Cheshire Cat serves as the Narrator for the story and the actors who are cast need to be able to speak clearly and be good storytellers.

Alice has the largest part in the show so you should cast your
strongest singer and actor. Small Alice must also be a good singer and actor while being comfortable as a big part of two dance numbers. And while Tall Alice doesn't have any solos, she needs to be a good actor with solid comic timing.

The White Rabbit is an energetic, worrisome character that hardly ever stops moving.

Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee are a pair of goofballs similar to old comedy teams like Abbott & Costello or Laurel & Hardy.

Mathilda is Alice's older sister and a non-singing role.

The Flowers (Rose, Petunia, Lily, Violet, Daisy) are the snooty, mean girls who think they are the most important people in the whole world.

The Caterpillar is one cool character who needs to be able to sing, dance, and act well.He provides the heart for the story and really convinces Alice to be herself.

The Mad Hatter is the life of the tea party and should be performed by someone who enjoys acting larger than life.

The March Hare is the counterpart to the Mad Hatter and also enjoys a good party. A

little less crazy than the Mad Hatter, the March Hare is a happy fun character who enjoys playing.

The Queen of Hearts is the big mean bully of the story.

The King of Hearts is the often forgotten ruler of Wonderland.

The Doorknob is a wonderful additional role for a chorus member who is very funny.

The Dodo Bird is in command of the lobsters and other animals.

The Ensemble includes Kids Playing in the Park, Rock Lobsters, Talking Fish, Royal Cardsmen, and Unbirthday Partiers

Monson Summer Theater is producing "ANYTHING GOES" (8th grade-first year college) summer 2016! Auditioners should prepare a song to sing (bring either sheet music or other background music) Details are listed below. Familiarize yourself with the show! Questions? Message Erin Greene. Location will be announced.

"ANYTHING GOES" Synopsis
The S. S. American is sailing between New York and England with a comically colorful assemblage of passengers: Reno Sweeney, a popular nightclub singer and former evangelist, her pal Billy Crocker, a lovelorn Wall Street broker who has come aboard to try to win the favor of his beloved Hope Harcourt (who is engaged to another passenger, Sir Evelyn Oakleigh), and a second-rate conman named Moonface Martin, aka “Public Enemy #13.” Song, dance, and farcical antics ensue as Reno and Moonface try to help Billy win the love of his life.
