Talent Sought for "Mrs. Scrooge" Show

The "Mrs. Scrooge" Show is looking for actors. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: MRS. SCROOGE is a charming musical adaptation of Dickens' classic "A Christmas Carol"…but since the genders are reversed, many of the major and minor leads are for females. There are also many supporting roles/chorus parts for children, teens, and adults. While this version reverses the genders of the main characters, this doesn't change the title lead's stinginess or displeasure for the Yuletide season. This new musical bends tradition to offer family audiences a female Ebenezer and a female Bob Cratchit. Penny-pinching tycoon Eliza Tupper, a widow whose sour disposition has earned her the nickname "Mrs. Scrooge", learns charity and gratitude not just from the spirited visits by four ghosts but also from Mary Jane, her newly arrived orphan niece, and her kindly housekeeper, Francine, the female equivalent of "Bob Cratchit." Aunt Eliza decides that an orphanage would make the best home for Mary Jane. Fortunately for MJ, Francine persuades the old grouch to let her niece stay with her for the holidays. After Aunt Eliza has a quartet of ghostly visitors, her outlook changes. The character of "Tiny Tim" is replaced by Francine's husband who was injured in a factory accident.
