Actors & Actor/Singers For "The Gift Of The Magi" Show
Actors for production of "The Gift Of The Magi". See the breakdown below. About the project: Synopsis: This is a touching and beautiful story of a young couple unable to afford presents for each other on their first Christmas together. Each sacrifices a treasure to provide a gift for the other but, in so doing, they work at almost tragically funny cross-purposes. This is a play about young love and the value of giving. Indeed, the Magi were wise—and their gifts were wise gifts, however foolish in the eyes of the practical. Rate: Non paid. Additional info: Audition Requirements: Everyone auditioning for a “role” will need to do cold readings from the script and everyone auditioning for a Caroler will need to sing 16 bars of a song a cappella...preferably a Christmas Carol. Show Dates: December 1, 2 and 3. If you are interested, please apply.
