Singing Opportunities in "A Christmas Carol" Production
Vocal auditions now open for the upcoming production of "A Christmas Carol." Full details below! ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: A Christmas Carol, or the Marvelous Reclamation of Ebenezer Scrooge , a joy-filled adaptation set in modern-day Fredericksburg. This immersive production brings Charles Dickens’ classic tale into our contemporary world through theatrical storytelling, movement, puppetry, and an original book and score. Rate: This is a non-union production. All performers will receive a modest stipend, paid in two installments. Housing and transportation are not provided. This production is best suited for actors local or willing to commute to the Fredericksburg area. Additional info: Callbacks will be held on an as-needed basis on Saturday, July 19 at 1:00 PM. If you are called back, you will be notified by Monday, July 14 and provided with details about when and where to report, and what to prepare. Not all actors will be called back, and being called back does not guarantee casting, just as not being called back does not mean you are no longer under consideration. The creative team will use callbacks to explore specific roles and combinations as needed. Prepare a 1-minute monologue and 16–32 bars of a song (musical theatre or contemporary style.) An accompanist will be provided. If you prefer to sing with a track, a bluetooth speaker will be provided. You may be asked to repeat a harmony line or read from the script. Please bring or upload a headshot or recent photo, and either bring or upload your résumé or complete the experience section on the audition form. All auditioners must attend one Movement Call on their audition day. If you are interested please apply.
