Casting Kids and Teens for "A Christmas Carol" Play
In need of kids and teens for "A Christmas Carol" Play. Please see the details below. About the project: Williamsburg Players has proudly presented A Christmas Carol as an annual production since 2017. What began as a small production with just nine cast members has grown over the years into a beloved holiday tradition and a larger ensemble production. Although A Christmas Carol is performed annually, casting is conducted each year through an open audition process. All actors—both returning company members and those new to the production—are expected to audition for the roles they wish to be considered for. Returning to the production in a previous year does not guarantee a particular role or place in the cast. Each year, we also make a point of welcoming new actors into the company. We are always looking for talented performers who are excited to become part of the A Christmas Carol troupe and contribute to the continuing tradition of this production. The only pre-determined casting is the role of Ebenezer Scrooge, which will once again be played by Brink Miller. All other roles are open for consideration through the audition process. We encourage both returning and new actors to audition. Every year brings a new interpretation of this classic story, and we look forward to seeing what each actor brings to the production Additional info: Children under the age of 12 will audition at 2:00 to 2:45 PM and then will be dismissed. Auditions for anyone ages 13 and up will begin at 2:45. Anyone auditioning should arrive approximately 15 minutes prior to the start time to register. You may also fill out an audition form prior to arriving and bring it with you to the audition ABOUT THE PERFORMANCES: Players must be available for all performances.
