Production Description

Casting Equity actors for "A Christmas Carol." Note: Non-binary and transgender actors are encouraged to submit for both roles. This unique adaptation of the classic story uses only two actors, one playing Scrooge, the other playing Charles Dickens. Dickens then transforms himself into all of the other characters, interacting with Scrooge while also conjuring up each new scene. Utilizing puppetry, costumes, and classic storytelling, the play draws the audience into another world and allows them to experience a well- known story in a new way.
