The Sherman Playhouse Holds Casting Call for A CHILD'S CHRISTMAS IN WALES

The Sherman Playhouse is seeking ten men and ten women, ages 25 to 45, and four boys and two girls, ages 9 to 14 for the classic Holiday tale, A CHILD'S CHRISTMAS IN WALES, by Dylan Thomas.

Dylan Thomas' poetic language in A CHILD'S CHRISTMAS IN WALES will bring back wonderful memories of Christmases past. Despite the fact that this is a Welsh Christmas and the music is also Welsh, Dylan Thomas has managed to universalize the very essence of Christmas as any child anywhere might perceive it. The play focuses on the story of Christmas Day itself, from its
quiet, magical beginning full of thrilling expectations to the joyous
conclusion when the boy Dylan creeps up to his bed, replete with the joy of a perfect Christmas.

A CHILD'S CHRISTMAS IN WALES is under the direction of John Taylor of Sherman.

Auditions FOR THE CHILDREN ONLY will be held Sunday, September 26 from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Auditions FOR ADULTS ONLY will be held Monday, September 27 from 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. NOTE: Other audition times may be scheduled by contacting director John Taylor at 203-820-7192.
