Theatre Casting Call for "A Christmas Carol"
Seeking performers for "A Christmas Carol" show. Please see the details below. About the project: A Christmas Carol is the Broadway adaptation of Charles Dickens’ 1843 festive novella. It tells the tale of the curmudgeonly Ebenezer Scrooge. A prosperous businessman, he believes that personal wealth and heartless financial tactics are much more valuable than the friendship, happiness, and comfort of those around him. He treats his employee, Bob Cratchit, and his family with the same disdain and coldness that he shows everyone else. Scrooge’s miserable nature comes to a crescendo during the Christmas period--”Bah! Humbug!” However, this Christmas, he is forced to come face to face with his selfish ways when he is confronted by three ghosts on Christmas Eve: the Ghost of Christmas Past, the Ghost of Christmas Present, and the Ghost of Christmas Future. In the course of one night, Scrooge is forced to recognize his faults and gains the chance to make amends. He greets the dawning Christmas morning with an unusually cheerful, “Happy Christmas” and finally reconnects with those that mean the most to him. Additional info: Auditions will consist of readings from the script (you only need to attend one night). Please be prepared to fill out a schedule with a complete list of conflicts. The tentative date for the first rehearsal is October 8, and the schedule is TBD based on actor availability. "A Christmas Carol" will run December 4th through the 21st. If interested, please apply.
