Child Singing Audition for "A Christmas Carol" Show
Looking for kids ages 5 and up for "A Christmas Carol". Please see the details below. About the project: In this version, produced exclusively at the Chatham Playhouse since 1988, Dickens serves not only as narrator but also as a character who befriends Scrooge and walks beside him during his life-changing journey through memories and premonitions. While the script remains true to the original story, the playwright also pulled from letters that Dickens wrote to family and friends. The story of Ebenezer Scrooge has become one of the most beloved of all holiday tales, and this unique production also reminds us that Dickens’ inspiration for penning the story goes much deeper. Additional info: Auditioners should be ready to sing a traditional Broadway song (pre-1970s preferred) which shows their vocal range, and must bring sheet music in the appropriate key and marked with chord changes. The Music Director will accompany. Child actors without previous audition experience or who don't know a traditional Broadway song, can choose to sing their favorite holiday song, a song from a Disney musical, or another non-rock and non-pop song that they know well. Callbacks will be held on Sunday, August 25th, Children at 6:30 pm and Adults at 7:30 pm. Rehearsals will be held two to three nights per week and on Sundays, starting September 22nd. Parents, directors will be mindful of your child’s time and only call them when necessary. Production schedule includes Tech/Dress Dec 1-4 and Performances on Dec 5, 6, 7, 8 (matinee), 12, 13, 14 (matinee), 15 (matinee) December 18, 19, 20, and 21 (2 shows).
