A Christmas Carol (musical)
Director: Stevie Tagye
Our director has adapted A Christmas Carol directly from Dickens’ novel, staying true to the timeless story of Ebenezer Scrooge’s journey from “bah humbug” to joy and generosity. To bring an extra touch of holiday magic, this production features the delightful songs by composer Jule Styne and lyricist Bob Merrill. The music brings charm, nostalgia, and warmth to Dickens’ tale in a unique and heartwarming way.
Audition Dates:
Sunday, September 14 @ 7pm
Monday, September 15 @ 7pm
Callbacks by invitation only: Wednesday, September 17 @ 7pm
You only need to attend one of the above audition sessions in order to be considered. No appointments are necessary. You should plan to spend about 2 hours at the theater for auditions (perhaps a little more or less, depending on turnout). Headshot and resume are not required. All parts open and families are encouraged. Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. Those wanting singing parts should sing a section from a traditional Christmas Carol. Some parts can be doubled and other people will become party guests in two scenes. Ages listed are not absolute. I am hoping to make this an innovative approach to the familiar story. Come out and have fun with us.
