AUDITION REGISTRATION: A Christmas Carol: A Ghost Story

The Public Theater of San Antonio in collaboration with Stage Hands is currently seeking Deaf, Hard of Hearing, and Hearing actors of all ages and ethnicities to submit for our upcoming production of A Christmas Carol: A Ghost Story. This holiday production will be told with spoken word and American Sign Language. 

Actors local to the San Antonio, Texas area and actors that are fluent in American Sign Language are encouraged to submit.

Roles may be cast with various communication styles to ensure inclusivity for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community. These may include:

  • ASL Shadow Performers: Some roles may be portrayed by actors speaking with ASL shadow performers, enhancing the visual experience for our audience.

  • Bilingual Actors: Other roles may involve actors who can both speak and sign, providing a seamless communication experience for all.

  • Deaf/Hard of Hearing Actors: We aim to cast Deaf or Hard of Hearing actors who sign, accompanied by a spoken translator to make the performance accessible to a hearing audience.
