Auditions For Playhouse's 'A Broadway Christmas Carol' Are Coming Up

Clague Playhouse will be holding auditions for A Broadway Christmas Carol in mid-August.

The show incorporated a mix of show tune song parodies and Charles Dickens’ classic tale with laugh-out-loud moments.

The play will open in November.

“Kathy Feininger’s fractured fable is the funniest holiday show around. Wild and wacky takes and take-offs on the original tale remain faithful to the core of the Dickens plot,” AOL’s City Guide, Atlanta reported. “Folks who came to see the show in its first year bring back carloads each year for a renewed laugh-fest.” 

Characters are Scrooge, a man age 30-50, a woman age 25-35 who will play a variety of characters, a 25-45 year old man who will also play a variety of characters. An onstage piano player has already been cast.

Play organizers said this is a fast-paced, multi-character piece that demands comedic versatility and “great musical chops” and fun, playful actors are desired. Those auditioning should prepare an uptempo, comedic, Broadway - Style song. 

Auditions will be held Aug. 13 and 14 at 7 p.m. at Clague Playhouse, 1371 Clague Road, Westlake. Those interested should bring a photo and a resume and sheet music in your key. An accompanist will be provided. A capella is not permitted.

Production dates are Thursdays – Saturdays, Nov. 8 - Dec. 8 at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. There will be no performance on Thanksgiving Day. Contact the box office at 440-331-0403 and/or leave a message for the director for additional information.
