"The Christmas Spirit" Show Looking for Performers
The company is holding auditions for "The Christmas Spirit" Show and looking for actors, please see the details below. About the project: Julia Dowling has an unexpected visitor who intends to escort her off to the afterlife. Infusing comedy into the classic Death Takes a Holiday, The Christmas Spirit is set in contemporary Long Island. Julia persuades Death to give her one more day to enjoy Christmas and invites him to be her guest at a festive party. The next day the house fills with bickering relatives, friends, the local priest…and Death, masquerading as a human, singing carols and drinking eggnog. Moments of high farce, drama, and even romance arise as bright holiday fantasies collide with a not-so-merry reality. Additional info: Production dates: Nov 18-Dec 11, 2022 The audition will be the normal cold read of excerpts from the script. Have fun with the characters.
