Please prepare a one minute comedic
monologue.

For those not familiar with the show, we thought it best to clarify a couple of
things.

The character of Zorah Bloch is a female.
The character of Sidney Carlton is a male.

Also, here is a brief description:
Almost broke, the
pathetic Soapbox Theatre Company is having a dickens of a time mounting their
annual cash cow, the holiday classic A Christmas Carol. Tiny Tim is a
bit too old and big, the Ghost of Jacob Marley keeps getting his chains tangled
in the scenery, and there’s an inspector from the National Endowment for the
Arts expected any minute.
When an inept new actor
is mistaken for the inspector, cast and crew cater to his every whim to try to
win government funding. The result? The most hilarious and disastrous
production of A Christmas Carol ever. Part Noises Off, part Waiting
for Guffman, this show has been a sidesplitting holiday hit ever since it
premiered at the Seattle Rep.

CHARACTERS:

Please note: The ages stated are not set in stone. 
Zorah Bloch – Founding director of The Soapbox Playhouse.
Extremely self-involved. 40s 
Sidney Carlton – A founding member of The Soapbox Playhouse.
Kind but somewhat addled. 50s-60s. 
Dorothy Tree Hapgood –Sidney’s wife. English and unable to lose
her accent. Also a founding member. 50s-60s. 
Larry Vauxhall – Tough, intellectually vain. Constantly
agitating to alter the Soapbox’s Carol so it is more socially relevent. A
founding member. 40s-50s. 
Phil Hewlitt – Obsessive, usually plays the intellectual
character in any Soapbox production. Also a founding member. 30s-40s. 
Walter E. Parsons –African-American. Has recently taken up
acting again after a stint in the armed forces. Good-natured, excitable.
Mid-20s-30s. 
Luther Beatty –12-year-old. Really too big to be playing Tiny
Tim, a role he has been performing two years too long. Youthful actor under 18
could pull it off. 
Kevin Emory – Nervous, in the impossible position of managing
director. Afraid of Zorah. 30s 
M.J. (Mary Jane) McMann –Stage manager. A realist who long ago
realized the Playhouse had hit bottom. She looks on now as a bemused observer.
Sharp, ironic sense of humor; cracks herself up. Also a founding member. 30s 
Betty Andrews – An inpector fot the National Endowment for the
Arts. A forbidding appearance. 30s-40s 
Bart Frances – A pleasant youth. Dresses in motorcycle jacket
and torn jeans. 20s 
Wayne Wallace – In search of a new career in acting but has no
training and less talent. Affable, eager to please. Mid20s-30s.
