“A Christmas Carol” will be performed Dec. 10 through 14 at 6:30 p.m. at Orcas Center.

This is an all new production of the adaptation by Deborah Sparks with music and lyrics by Jim Bredouw. It will be directed by Jake Perrine.

To audition for a lead, come to the Orcas Center Off Center Black Box on Sunday, Sept. 21 from to 1 to 3 p.m.

A sign-up sheet for audition times will be posted outside the main lobby or you can come by at audition times and take available times.  If you want a singing role, please prepare a verse and a chorus (16 bars) of a song you can sing a cappella.  Sides (script excerpts) will be provided for you to read from for casting.

Lead rehearsals start mid/late October, and will be some combination of Sundays 1 to 4 p.m. and weeknights 6 to 9 p.m. depending on which scenes you are in.

Those wanting villager roles only need to sign up. There will be a sign up sheet at auditions, or you can email Perrine at jake@jakeperrine.com with the full names, ages and contact info of everyone who would like to be in the show.  Villagers are limited to 50 people, so sign up soon.

“This is a terrific show for entire families to be on stage as villagers with very few rehearsals, which will begin after Thanksgiving,” say organizers.

Villagers are required to wear a costume, show up for rehearsals, sing and dance (contra dance), follow direction, and most importantly, have fun.
