<br>
Auditions for A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, adapted and directed <br>
by Lloyd Waiwaiole, with musical direction by Valerie A. Lord, will take place on <br>
Tuesday, September 9 and Thursday, September 11 at 7:00 p.m. at the Playhouse, <br>
12 S. Church St., Schenectady, NY 12305. <br>
<br>
A Christmas Carol will be staged as "Story Theater". The cast will form an <br>
ensemble that will relate Ebenezer's tale to the audience through storytelling and music. <br>
All cast members, save the actor portraying Scrooge, will play <br>
multiple roles throughout the show. These roles will, of course, include all <br>
the usual and beloved characters from the classic tale. The ghosts that haunt <br>
Scrooge will be a series of fantastic puppets, voiced and manipulated by the <br>
onstage actors. <br>
<br>
Those auditioning are asked to prepare a one-minute memorized reading and a <br>
short Victorian Christmas carol (extra points for the more obscure). Roles <br>
are available for 6 men, 5 women and 6 children. Children will be <br>
auditioned at the start of each evening. We are also seeking a fiddle player. <br>
Production dates are December 5-7 and 10-14, 2008. <br>
<br>
Please direct all questions to producer Duncan Morrison at 469-2269 or morrisonduncan @yahoo.com. <br>
