of performing Charles Dickens’ beloved holiday classic for the
umpteenth time, three actors decide to perform every Christmas story
ever told…plus Christmas traditions from around the world, seasonal
icons from ancient times to topical pop-culture, and every carol ever
sung. A madcap romp through the holiday season! Contains some mild
adult content and language.<br><br>CHARACTER BREAKDOWN: <br>Actor #1 -
Is the traditionalist of the three, wishing only to do "A Christmas
Carol". He/she comes around, though, to join in the fun. Other roles
include the Grinch, Hermie (from Rudolph), a Parade Host, the Crocodile
Hunter, Scrooge and George Bailey. <br><br>Actor #2 - Is the "wise guy"
of the three, to some extent, goading the others into doing other
Christmas shows. Other roles he plays are the Head Elf and Yukon
Cornelius from "Rudolph...", a Dating Game style game show host, a
(female) Parade Host, Bob Cratchit, and the Ghost of Christmas Past. <br><br>Actor
#3 - Is both a traditionalist and a trouble-maker, kind of a go-between
Actor 1 & Actor 2. Among the many roles he/she plays are Rudolph,
Frosty, Clarence, Mary Bailey, Uncle Billy, and Mr. Potter.<br><br></div>Although
the show was originally written for three men, these roles are not
restricted by gender, ethnicity, age, body type, etc.<br><br>Auditions
will involve cold readings from the script, as well as a small amount
of improvisation with other potential cast members. Headshots and
resumes are not required. This play has a fair amount of audience
participation, and most “scene changes” are done with props and frequent
costume changes. The show requires ability to work with an audience,
and with frequent scene changes performed by the actors.<br><br>Rehearsals will begin mid-late September. Please bring all available scheduling conflict information to the audition.<br><br>For further information, please contact Barbara Davis-Dickman at <a href="mailto:bdd1101@gmail.com" target="_blank">bdd1101@gmail.com</a><br clear="all"><br>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div>Confetti Stage, Inc<br></div><div><a href="http://www.confettistage.org" target="_blank">www.confettistage.org</a></div><div><a href="https://www.facebook.com/ConfettiStageInc" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/ConfettiStageInc</a><br></div><div><span><font color="#888888"><font size="2"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">Please join us for our 11th annual short play festival, featuring 6 original works by local playwrights,</span></font> <span style="color:rgb(255,0,0)"><font size="4"><b>Confetti Fest 11</b></font></span><font color="#000000"><font size="2">, running October 2-11, 2015!</font></font></font></span></div><div><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
