Auditions - A Dickens' Christmas Carol - A Traveling Travesty in Two Tumultuous Acts

   

Center Stage Community Theatre, 604 Powell Street, Lebanon, IN 46052 is pleased to announce auditions for its November show: A Dickens’ Christmas Carol – A Traveling Travesty in Two Tumultuous Acts, by Mark Landon Smith, will take place at the theater August 20 and 21 at 7:00 pm. These are open auditions and anyone interested is invited to audition.

If you are familiar with the author, you know that he writes delightful characters then places them in absurd situations for a laugh filled production.

For this show, they have a stuffy old traveling troupe embarking on their fifteenth annual farewell tour of the Dickens’ take. Bettina, the company diva, pretends to be ill, certain the production will be cancelled. However, much to her shock and rage, the show does go on without her! Roles are shuffled at the last minute and sweet Cynthia, the general understudy, suddenly finds herself thrust on stage to perform a role she’s ill-prepared for!

The play begins but mid-way through, the theatre doors open and in rushes the missing actress determined to reclaim her roles. Mayhem ensues as this professional company scrambles to keep the show going and everything that could possibly go wrong does, to hilarious, ridiculous results!

This will be a very high energy production, full of physical comedy. All actors and actresses (except for Scrooge) will play multiple roles, with fast costume changes.

We will need 3 males – stage ages 18 – 70 and
4 females - stage ages - 18 -60

Those auditioning will do so by reading from scripts of the show.
