ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. Seeking performers for production of "A Christmas Carol". More detals are below. About the play: "A Christmas Carol" that celebrates the spirit of the season and the transformative power of community, compassion, and joy. When Ebenezer Scrooge is visited by the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future, he embarks on a powerful journey of redemption that promises to warm even the coldest of hearts. This swift 90-minute adaptation of Charles Dickens’ classic tale draws directly from the original novella to offer audiences a fresh yet timeless take on the beloved story. Infused with popular Christmas carols and a subtle thread of contemporary humour, this ensemble-driven production breathes new life into the tale’s enduring message.
