Theater Audition for "Inspecting Carol" Play
Seeking performers for production of "Inspecting Carol". More details are below. About the play: Behind the scenes of a struggling theatre company’s annual slapdash production of A Christmas Carol. Tim is no longer tiny, Scrooge wants to do the show in Spanish and their funding is on hold pending an inspection. When an impossibly bad actor is mistakenly identified as the inspector, the troupe does everything to accommodate his craziest wishes. Mistaken identities lead to side-splitting comedy as opening night draws closer and it seems only a Christmas miracle will save this production. Additional information: This is a physically demanding show, actors must have capability to run, fall and jump. Auditions will be a cold read. Run Dates: December 2025 12, 13, 14 & December 2025 18, 19, 20, 21.
