Performers Wanted for Theatre Audition "The Rented Christmas"

Edwardsburg, MI, United States
ID: 289223Exp: 10/11/2025
Description:

Actors needed for production of "The Rented Christmas". See more info below. About the project: John Dale hasn’t enjoyed a ’real Christmas’ for years. So, on the spur of the moment, he decides to ’rent’ a Christmas from Anne Weston, who owns the local rent shop. Anne is at first flustered with the requirements: a tree with presents, Christmas carols and also a wife and five children. Anne feels she has solved the problem of a Christmas family by calling the actors’ guild. But the young actors come down with the measles so she turns to the local orphanage. When the guild can’t locate a ’mother,’ Anne steps in to play the role herself. Based on the short story by J. Lillian Vandervere, the story of how John Dale’s rented Christmas turns into a new life for all concerned makes this a warm story for the holiday season. Additional info: The script is attached. Performances: December 5th (Fri) @ 7:30pm December 6th (Sat) @ 7:30pm December 7th (Sun) @ 2:00pm If you are interested, please apply.
