About the show:
Instead 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.

CHARACTER BREAKDOWN:
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.

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.

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.

Although the show was originally written for three men, these roles are not
restricted by gender, ethnicity, age, body type, etc.

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.

Rehearsals will begin mid-late September.  Please bring all available
scheduling conflict information to the audition.
