A cultural icon and infinitely quotable, Dickens’ A Christmas Carol is a mainstay of many regional theaters across the country. Infused with traditional carols and supported by several quick costume changes, this adaptation sticks close to the source material in a way intended to breathe new life into familiar territory. It is at its core an ensemble show, with everyone coming together to tell a story full of heart and hope.
We are seeking 8-10 high energy actors to portray an ensemble of over 30 characters. Actors do not need to be trained singers but must be comfortable singing on stage. Please prepare a short excerpt from the text of A Christmas Carol and a verse and chorus of a traditional carol. Samples are available on the website; excerpts & carols need not be memorized. Bring a resume and list of conflicts. Headshots are optional.
Performances will be December 4, 5, 6, 9, 12, & 13 with two shows on Saturdays.
Actors must be 18+. Actors of all genders, ethnicities, and abilities are encouraged to audition.
