This version of A CHRISTMAS CAROL is unusual in that there are two stories going on at once. All actors will be assigned roles in both stories. Actors may indicate roles of interest but actors will be cast to best suit roles in both stories. Some singing, some dancing, but this is NOT a musical. Skills like playing a musical instrument, juggling, acrobatics, and others can be used but are not required. This is an “out-of-the-box” play and will include improvisation and flexibility.
A bright, modern approach to a Christmas classic, adapted by Doris Baizley, has everything we love about this story, but with a special twist. Scrooge, tiny Tim, the three Christmas spirits, Marley’s ghost are all here but each with a spin that delights and surprises. When a troupe of traveling actors digs into their trunk of tricks and mysteries, the fun and surprise grows bigger and better. Spirits rise out of the floor; ghosts float off in a cloud of smoke; carolers and happy children fill the stage with the thrill of Christmas yet to come. This Christmas Carol embraces the entire family in a gigantic holiday hug.
Those auditioning will be asked to read selections from the script. Limited scripts are available for check-out from the theatre office Monday – Friday from 9am to 1pm for a $10 refundable deposit. Please contact the office Monday through Friday from 9am to 1pm at
