Theatre Casting Call for "A Christmas Carol"
ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. Auditions for "A Christmas Carol" play. The theatre is casting actors, singers, and storytellers. See more details below. About the project: Renowned around the world, A Christmas Carol remains one of the most beloved tales of redemption and hope — but this time, it’s heading west. In this brand-new adaptation by Marc Anthony Glover, Dickens’ classic story is reimagined in the dusty frontier town of Whispering Hollow, where cold hearts and colder nights test the spirit of Christmas itself. With saloon girls, miners, cowboys, and ghostly presences of the plains, this retelling fuses the heart of Dickens’ message with the grit and charm of the Old West. It’s a haunting, heartfelt, and wholly original holiday experience — where the spirit of Christmas rides again.
