Two Actors Needed for ‘TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS at Ohio Stage Company

OSC_Tws the Night Before Christmas logoThe Ohio Stage Company in Hamilton is in need of two male actors for its upcoming production of Ken Ludwig’s ‘TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS. Rehearsals would begin immediately and run through the production weekend of December 17-20, 2016. Performances of this children’s theater piece will be presented at Fitton Center for Creative Arts in downtown Hamilton.
UNCLE BRIERLY (40s – 60s) A bit of a portly man with a hearty laugh and a charming smile. Brierly is the kind of man who is everyone’s uncle and is just the kind of man you want to be around at Christmas time. The actor playing Brierly will also play Sir Guy of Gisbourne.  SIR GUY OF GISBOURNE: An ex-elf who is too wicked for the North Pole to handle. “The fallen Angel”.
 
MULCH (20s – 40s) The side-kick to Sir Guy of Gisbourne. He is clueless and dorky, which leads to a madcap adventure! The actor playing Mulch will also play Wendell Sneed and Santa Claus.  WENDELL SNEED: A whacky friend of Uncle Brierly’s. The ideal candidate will be able to experiment with different dialects. SANTA CLAUS: The one and only.
