a single night can change the entire <span style="direction: ltr;">course of a person’s life. This ghost story follows miser Ebenezer Scrooge as he is visited by four spirits <span style="direction: ltr;">on a Christmas Eve in Victorian London. First Scrooge
is visited by the ghost of his old partner, Jacob <span style="direction: ltr;">Marley, and then visited by the ghost of Christmas Past, Present, and Future. As Scrooge travels with <span style="direction: ltr;">each ghost, viewing both his life and what
may come, we hope that he can learn what the true spirit of <span style="direction: ltr;">Christmas is all about… but is it too late? <br>

is no need to prepare a monologue as auditions will consist of readings from the show. Some <span style="direction: ltr;">people may be taught a short segment of a Christmas carol to sing as well. If you cannot attend the <span style="direction: ltr;">audition
dates but wish to audition, please contact the director as soon as possible, prior to the start of <span style="direction: ltr;">auditions. The production staff will do the best they can do accommodate requests, but only those made <span style="direction: ltr;">prior
to auditions. <br>
