Auditions for Showcase & B3's co-production of William Shakespeare's Christmas Carol by Ian Doescher, directed by Joey Whelan.
This production runs from December 13th-22nd.
Ebenezer Scrooge, a wealthy theatre owner, is a miserable curmudgeon - mistreating his nephew Ferdinand and employee Benedick Cratchit. There is not a generous bone in his body. But why is that? And is it possible for such a man to change his ways? The ghost of Scrooge's former partner, Christopher Marlowe, arrives with a warning: "thou shalt be haunted, man. Three spirits shall come hither, unto thee".
This play seeks to reimagine the story of Ebenezer Scrooge's brush with the supernatural through a Shakespearean lens. Written mostly in iambic pentameter, this version of Charles Dickens' classic Christmas tale utilizes other characters through Shakespeare's history to re-contextualize the narrative with a unique spin: what if William Shakespeare had written A Christmas Carol?
Auditions will be held on Friday October 11th from 6pm to 9pm at Shadow Rock UCC, with callbacks on Saturday October 12th from 12pm to 3pm. Please sign up for a 5 minute audition spot and fill out our audition form.
We are asking auditioners to prepare 1 classical Shakespearean monologue of their choice, or they may choose to cold read a monologue chosen from the show by the director.
So come on out and join us for this fun spin on a Christmas classic!
