Seeking five actor-narrators who sing well. These five multi-faceted performers are the engaging narrators who tell the story of Scrooge’s long night of self-discovery…the carolers who sing the music of the season to set our time, place, and mood…and the actors who play every character Scrooge encounters along the way. With a change of a hat, or the addition of a shawl, and the tiniest alteration of accent (all actors should have facility with RP British and related dialects) these five actors will play the entire spectrum of Dickens vivid characters.
(NOTE: the role of Scrooge is CAST)
TRACK 1: Male Identifying-any ethnicity (characters include Marley, Fezziwig, Ghost of Christmas Present, Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come) 45 - 60, charismatic, tall, imposing, capable of instilling ghostly dreadful fear as Marley, infectious joy as Fezziwig, and powerful authority and gravitas as the Ghost of Christmas Present -Bass/baritone.
TRACK 2: Female Identifying-any ethnicity (characters include Belle, Martha Cratchit, Scrooge's Niece) 20-30 attractive and versatile ingenue with youthful charm and bracing intelligence… unflinchingly honest but never cruel with the young Scrooge -soprano/alto.
TRACK 3: Male Identifying-any ethnicity (characters include Bob Cratchit, Ghost of Christmas Past, Topper) 30 -45, somewhat androgynous, diminutive, empathetic and sympathetic - tenor/ high baritone.
TRACK 4: Male Identifying-any ethnicity (character’s include Scrooge's nephew Fred, Young Scrooge, Young Husband, Businessman) 25 - 35, attractive young leading man, sense of humor, likable, personable, a ready and infectious laugh that is the counter to Scrooge’s scowl - tenor/ baritone.
TRACK 5: Female Identifying-any ethnicity (characters include Mrs. Cratchit, Mrs. Fezziwig, Charwoman) 35 -55, able to embody equally the happy abandon of the joyful Mrs. Fezziwig, the cautious practicality and hard-earned skepticism of Bob Cratchit’s loving wife, and the no apologies avarice of Scrooge’s charwoman who, with clear eyes and a cold heart, strips his corpse and bed to profit from his death -- alto.
