Description:

Casting Teens for "A Christmas Carol by William Shakespeare". Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: 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's 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? Rate: $50 stipend. Additional info: Rehearsals Begin: October 14, 2024 Run/Shoot: December 13, 2024 – December 22, 2024 Please prepare 1 classical Shakespearean monologue of your choice, no more than 3 minutes in length. If you don't have a monologue ready, you may choose to cold-read a selection from the script chosen by the production team. *NOTE: Most actors cast will wind up playing multiple roles Callback Dates/Times October 12, 2 pm-3 pm If you are interested please apply.
