Check out some of our Frequently Asked Questions before you get started!

How will this in-person production work safely?
All participants on-site will follow LCT’s “Safe at Work” guidelines which include mandatory face coverings, daily temperature checks, and submitting the results of periodic COVID tests.   
 
During rehearsals, cast members will join LCT staff over Zoom for as long as possible until rehearsing in person becomes necessary.  Rehearsals will take place on LCT’s mainstage, our largest space. Additionally, not all characters in Alice in Wonderland encounter each other; we will segregate groups of performers “by scene” for as long as possible.   
 
This show will perform at MoonDance Amphitheater, an outdoor venue owned by Lexington Parks and Rec.  LCT will follow all city mandated safety measures for audiences and performers.

Please open our FAQ Page for more details.

How do I get help if I have trouble with my video?
Be sure your internet and browser settings, as well as your camera and microphone technology are on appropriate settings and working correctly.  LCT staff will not be able to provide tech support for your personal elements.  If you struggle with the flipgrid website itself, get in touch with us by email at psm@lctonstage.org. 

If you're not sure what should be in your video please visit our audition page or check your confirmation email after filling out this form!

Where can I read the script?
Perusal scripts are available digitally by request only.  Request one HERE.

Will I miss school or work to participate in this production?
Yes. There are school matinees planned on Thurs and Fri April 22nd and 23rd. These performances are scheduled for 10am and 11:45am, though these are tentative dates and times. Actors would be onsite from 9am-1pm for these performance times. It is possible that these performances will be reduced if sales don’t merit all the performances.

Are artists from out of town allowed to audition?
No, the on-site performances and rehearsals will not allow those outside central KY to participate.

Are actors paid to appear in this production?
No.  Actors of any age will not be paid for this production.

I turn 9 after the deadline of March 1st.  Can I still audition?
Not this time.  We encourage performers under 9 to take theatre school classes to learn and grow and get ready for their first audition with us!

What if my child has special needs?
Please let us know on the last page of this form. We will be in touch to make sure your student has what they need to have a successful and fun audition process! 

Should I audition even if it's my first time and I might not get a part?
Absolutely!  You might not get a part the first time you audition for a show, but at LCT we make auditions as fun and unintimidating as possible.  We do a lot of group activities, not so many "solo" activities.  This is a great place to have your first audition!  And you'll be less nervous for your next one.  

What's the best way to get in touch with LCT staff right now?
While LCT staff works mostly from home the best way is to get in touch is by email.  psm@lctonstage.org is the main account for questions about this audition process.

An explanation of this form/calendar:

The calendar below is a list of every day we could choose to rehearse, it is not the official schedule.  We request your conflicts and commitments so we can determine which days will be the best to rehearse with you.  You/your student will not be in rehearsal for every single minute listed.  Central characters attend more than others.

In general, we will rehearse 3-4 weekday evenings and Saturday afternoons.  See the calendar below for every possible rehearsal block you will report conflicts for.

Instructions:

If you are Available for the entire listed day/time, leave it blank.

If you have a commitment encompassing the entire listed day/time that cannot be moved or missed, choose Unavailable.  Leave the next field blank.  

If you could arrive late for the time listed, choose Arrive Late then write in the time you would arrive.  (don't forget to account for travel time)

If you would need to depart early for another activity, choose Depart Early and write in the time you would leave our rehearsal.

For the commitments you share, please tell us the Reason.  "Dance" or "Football" or "Vacation" are detailed enough.  Then indicate if the commitment is Flexible.  For example, a vacation already booked is likely not flexible but a single dance practice could be flexible for a mandatory filming day.  

Some commitments are not yet confirmed, or Tentative.  Please mark that box to indicate commitments that may or may not happen such as a vacation or sports tournament, etc.  

Participants and their guardians will do their best to communicate schedules and conflicts before the rehearsal calendar is made so LCT can create the best rehearsal schedule possible.  Participants are expected to be proactive in their communication and do their best to honor the commitment they make when cast.

Actors in this production will be asked to provide basic costume elements including socks, shoes, undergarments, etc.  The costume designer works with you to find affordable options or use items you already own.  Actors provide their own corrective make up if needed (blush, mascara, eyeliner).    

Participants in this production will follow LCT's "Safe at Work" procedures.  These will be covered in detail once actors are cast in the production but include: mandatory face coverings, daily temperature readings upon arrival, and submitting results from COVID tests taken at prescribed times during the process.  All participants agree to abide by these procedures. 

Cast members who will travel, visit with groups of people outside their immediate family (during spring break or at any other time during the process), or engage in other behaviors that put one at a higher risk of contracting COVID-19 are discouraged from participating in this production. 

LCT may use performer's photograph, likeness, and/or voice in any way that would resonable portray LCT programs.  

LCT celebrates people of all ages, ethnicities, cultures, gender identities, sexual orientations, and physical and cognative abilities and expects participants to help create an accepting and kind space for all people. 

I do further certify that I am of full legal capacity to execute the above authorization and release.
