BRATTLEBORO — The Vermont Theatre Company will host auditions for their fifth annual production of A Christmas Carol on Sept. 5 and 6 at the Brattleboro Union High School auditorium. They are seeking actors, singers, and musicians. Children 13 and under will audition at 6 p.m., all others at 6:30 p.m.
A Christmas Carol is the classic novella by Charles Dickens that tells the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, an old miser, who is visited by ghosts on Christmas eve. As the night goes on, the ghosts seek to convince Scrooge to give up his selfish ways and embrace the generosity of Christmas.
This production will be written and directed by James Gelter and produced by Justin Fetterman.
Auditioners are asked to arrive 10 minutes early. Actors 14 and over should be prepared to read selections from the script. A preview of those selections can be found at vermonttheatrecompany.org.
Those interested in singing should be prepared to sing a verse of a Christmas carol of their choice. This year, the company is looking for musicians. Those interested should bring an instrument and be prepared to play a piece of their own choosing. Children under 13 don't need anything prepared.
Vermont Theatre Company is a nonprofit, community theater that believes in holding open auditions for all roles. Novices and first-timers are encouraged to take part.
