Alice au pays des mémères is a Louisiana French-Language and Creole-Language play based upon Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and influenced by French Louisiana traditions. It is the story of young Alice who enters an unusual world where she discovers persons who reflect both Wonderland-like animals and members of her family from generations past who lead her on a journey of self-discovery and understanding of her culture. The play features both youth and adult characters. Native French speakers, French Immersion students, persons with various levels of French proficiency, adult or youth are all invited to audition. One need not be a fluent speaker to audition. Practically all roles are open to all ages and genders. Auditions, rehearsals, and performances will all be held at Cité des Arts in Lafayette. Auditions will be held Saturday, Dec. 6, between 10:00 am and 2:00 pm, with possible call-backs on the afternoon of Sunday, Dec. 7. Actors will be given parts of the script to read for the auditions, and if desired they can prepare a monologue in either French or English to deliver at the auditions as well. There will be three performances, two on Saturday, April 25 and one on Sunday, April, 26, 2026. The production will be an official event of Festival International de Louisiane! Rehearsals will begin mid-January and will be held most Saturday mornings and Thursday evenings, but not all actors will be required to attend each rehearsal. There will likely be additional rehearsals required in the weeks just prior to the performances.

Alice au pays des mémères est une pièce en français louisianais et en créole louisianais, inspirée par Les Aventures d'Alice au pays des merveilles et influencée par les traditions franco-louisianaises. Elle raconte l'histoire de la jeune Alice qui entre dans un monde atypique où elle découvre des personnages qui évoquent à la fois des animaux du Pays des merveilles et des membres de sa famille, issus de générations passées, qui l'emmènent dans un voyage de découverte de soi et de compréhension de sa culture. La pièce met en scène des personnages jeunes et adultes. Les francophones, les élèves d'immersion française, les personnes ayant différents niveaux de français, les adultes comme les jeunes, sont tous invités à auditionner. Il n'est pas nécessaire de parler couramment la langue pour auditionner. Presque tous les rôles sont ouverts à tous les âges et à tous les sexes. Les auditions, les répétitions et les représentations auront lieu à la Cité des Arts de Lafayette. Les auditions auront lieu le samedi 6 décembre, de 10 h à 14 h, avec possibilité de rappel le dimanche 7 décembre après-midi. Les comédiens recevront des extraits du texte à lire pour les auditions et, s'ils le souhaitent, pourront préparer un monologue en français ou en anglais à présenter lors des auditions. Il y aura trois représentations : deux le samedi 25 avril et une le dimanche 26 avril 2026. La production est un événement officiel du Festival International de Louisiane! Les répétitions commenceront mi-janvier et auront lieu la plupart des samedis matins et jeudis soirs. La présence de tous les comédiens n'est pas obligatoire à chaque répétition. Il y aura probablement des répétitions supplémentaires nécessaires dans les semaines précédant les représentations.
