THE SHOW In
this original adaptation actors lead a small audience (12-16) through
historic Uptown Westerville to share a very local version of this
holiday classic, The Christmas Carol. The
Guide, who plays themselves, Jacob Marley, the Ghost of Christmas Past and Present
leads the audience through the story as the audience is SCROOGE. Small
interactive performances take place in and around several businesses of
Uptown to tell this holiday tale where actors play various Christmas
Carol characters.
Rather than have an audience passively observe
Scrooge’s journey, the story becomes their own. This show celebrates
the art of the LIVE theatrical experience. We celebrate audience reaction
and use it in the story. There is no 4th wall. The environment, the
actors’ true stories story and audience members’ true stories combined
with Dickens' powerful words, memorable characters and storytelling
brilliance all work to fully immerse the audience into the story of The
Christmas Carol in ways they most likely have never experienced.
This
year, the show structure is driven by a cast of 4. The Guide, a Tiny
Tim and 2 other actors who travel along playing all the other
characters. Unless you are auditioning for Tiny Tim the only child actors we will cast in the show will be finale elves.
We are looking for physical performers
willing to PLAY and explore larger-than-life versions of Dickens'
classic characters and general Christmas fun!
Actors 18+ are paid $100/show day.
