Alice, White Rabbit and the Queen of Hearts will be cast during auditions of the Brewton Community Theatre's next planned presentation, &#8220Alice in Wonderland.”
Auditions for the January production will be held Tuesday, Sept. 11 at 6:30 p.m. on the ASU/Southern Normal campus.
Gleaton said the cast list includes parts for all ages, both male and female.
Gleaton said auditions might take more time than usual since the cast list is extensive. Callbacks may be necessary at the close of the auditions, she said.
Those interested in auditioning for a part in the planned production are asked to be prepared to read from a script. Resumes and photos are recommended, but are not required, Gleaton said.

Rehearsals will be planned up to the production date of Jan. 25 and 26, 2008, Gleaton said.
