WTG Auditions for Every Christmas Story Ever Told (And Then Some!)
By Michael Carleton, James Fitzgerald and John K. Alvarez
Monday, September 30th and Tuesday, October 1st at 7 pm
Burton Leavitt Theatre, 779 Main Street, Willimantic
The show premise: Instead of performing Charles Dickens' beloved holiday classic for the umpteenth time, three actors decide to perform every Christmas story ever told -- plus Christmas traditions from around the world, seasonal icons from ancient times to topical pop-culture, and every carol ever sung. A madcap romp through the holiday season!
Rehearsals start Monday, October 7. Rehearsal schedule details will be available at auditions.
Audition process: will include cold readings from the script, and potential movement/improvised activities.
The performers: We are looking for confident and charismatic actors who can banter with the audience and each other. Male actors are preferred based on the script, but actors of any gender with the qualities we need will be considered. All ages and ethnicities are welcome.
Actor 1: A traditionalist, somewhat straight-laced and reluctant to join in the mayhem but they eventually come around.
Actor 2: Very non-traditional; fun loving and up for anything. The wilder the better!
Actor 3: Somewhat between actors 1 and 2. They tend to go along with Actor 2's crazy schemes.
Show Dates: December 6, 7, 8, 12, 13, 14 &15, 2024
