Theatre Casting Call for "A Christmas Carol"
Looking to cast males and females for "A Christmas Carol" project. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: Synopsis: A Christmas Carol tells the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, a bitter, cold-hearted old miser who despises Christmas and all things joyful. On Christmas Eve, Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his former business partner, Jacob Marley, who warns him to change his ways or face a grim fate in the afterlife. In this production, the story of Scrooge’s journey–immortalized by Charles Dickens in 1843–will both remain true to the LTA holiday tradition and be inspired by the director’s dark and playful vision of Victorian England. The concept of this production brings the characters of the Charles Dickens story to life through the imagination of the Grandchild as they are read the story by their Grandparent.
