What It Means to Love

______________

TO AUDITION:

This piece is meant to honor our dearest Elise Wobbe through movement and dance, specifically using songs from her Spotify playlists. Please submit a dance reel if you have one, or if not you may submit a video of you doing a dance/movement combination you love. It doesn’t have to be perfect! This piece is about sharing love for our community and each other, as Elise always did, so even if you don’t consider yourself a “dancer” please submit a video of you if you see yourself being part of this project. Please keep the video between 1-2 minutes.

*First Year Department of Drama students are not permitted to audition*

Process dates are  January 20th, 2026 through February 22nd, 2026

_____________

Alice By Heart is a contemporary reimagining of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, set in a London Underground shelter during the Blitz. As bombs fall above, a young Alice Spencer escapes into the familiar story to cope with fear, loss, and the fragile boundary between childhood and adulthood. Guided by Lewis Carroll’s characters, the musical explores grief, first love, and the courage it takes to grow up when the world feels unbearably uncertain. With a haunting, poetic score by Steven Sater and Duncan Sheik and a book by Jessie Nelson, Alice By Heart blends fantasy and reality into a tender story about imagination as an act of survival.
