Description:

Audition for "A 1940's Radio Christmas Carol". Looking for a teen. Please see the details below. About the project: The long-awaited sequel to the popular The 1940's Radio Hour. It's Christmas Eve, 1943, and the Feddington Players are now broadcasting from a hole-in-the-wall studio in Newark, NJ, and set to present their contemporary "take" on Dickens's A Christmas Carol. Whether it's the noisy plumbing, missed cues, electrical blackouts, or the over-the-top theatrics of veteran actor, but radio novice, William St. Claire, this radio show is an entertaining excursion into the mayhem and madness of a live radio show. St. Claire's escalating foibles and acting missteps propel the show to a simultaneously comedic and heart-wrenching dramatic climax: St. Claire has an on-air breakdown, and begins to connect his own life with that of the classic Dickens tale. In order to "save the show," the company improvises an ending to Charles Dickens' classic as a film noir mystery, featuring a hardboiled detective, a femme fatale, and an absurd rescue of Tiny Tim (and the Lindbergh baby) from the clutches of a Hitler-esque villain named Rudolf! Additional info: Performance Dates: December 13-22 Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. If you are auditioning for a singing role, please bring 32 bars of a prepared piece. An accompanist or Bluetooth speaker will be provided. If interested, please apply.

“LITTLE” JACKIE SPARKSMale17-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Not actually “little,” but young. A tenor with a high speaking voice. Having just graduated from high school, Jackie, lives with his mom in suburban Newark. Calls home probably a dozen times a day. Teased a lot. Still has a Sunday paper route.
