Actors Needed for "Inspecting Carol" Play Audition
The theatre play "Inspecting Carol" needs performers. Find more details below. About the project: Inspecting Carol is a backstage holiday comedy by Daniel J. Sullivan that spoofs both A Christmas Carol and the frantic world of community theater. The play follows a struggling theater company preparing for their annual production of Dickens’ classic. Everything goes wrong: actors forget lines, the set collapses, egos clash, and rehearsal spirals out of control. When the troupe mistakes a clueless wannabe actor for a feared National Endowment for the Arts inspector, panic sets in, and desperate attempts to impress lead to even more ridiculous disasters. Full of slapstick, satire, and seasonal spirit, Inspecting Carol is a joyful romp that celebrates the magic (and madness) of live theater. Additional info: Performance Dates December 12, 13, 14, 16, 19, 20, 21 Fridays & Saturdays • 7:00 pm Sundays • 2:00 pm | Tuesday • 7:00 pm No experience necessary! You will be asked to read with other participants from sections of the script previously selected by the directors. All auditions will be performed as a “cold read” (seeing the script for the first time). Auditions are also a great time to express your interest in backstage work, set building, lights and all of the other necessary skills that make a show great! Stop by if you have any interest in the action “behind the scenes” and visit with the directors. If you are interested, please apply.
