Adapted by Tim Perrino, Music by Jeremy Helmes, Lyrics by Tim Perrino
Based on the book by Charles Dickens
The Covedale’s own very merry musical production, A CHRISTMAS CAROL, makes its triumphant return for the holidays! Our musical version of the classic Dickens tale is deeply faithful to the original, featuring the mean miser Scrooge, Tiny Tim and the most famous haunters of all – the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future! And it’s all wrapped up in exciting songs like, “Bring Back Christmas”, “On the Streets of Bethlehem”, “The Candle Carol” and many more. It’s been nine years since this show has brightened the Covedale stage. Come experience this “Ghost story of Christmas” again OR for the very first time. It’s a marvelous, merry way to share the yuletide with family and friends. God bless us everyone!

Auditions Announced for SOUTHERN FRIED NUPTIALS at Sunset Players

SSP_logo8/1 – I have filled about half the roles for my upcoming play, but still need to cast several more. I attached an audition notice for my next play, Southern Fried Nuptials. 

Whether you want to audition or not, perhaps you could recommend some people who might be interested in one of these roles.

I have an open audition session scheduled for Wednesday, August 3 at 7 p.m. or will meet with candidates by appointment.

I can be contacted at danhawkins66@gmail.com.

The Sunset Players and director Dan Hawkins will be holding auditions for their fall show, SOUTHERN FRIED NUPTIALS, a comedy by Osborne & Eppler.

Synopsis:
Harlene Frye is going to marry her childhood sweetheart this weekend . . . assuming the typical Frye family hijinks don’t derail the wedding! Harlene and Attie’s future together is threatened when the bride-to-be’s awful ex-flame shows up with information she doesn’t want her fiancé finding out. And Harlene’s not the only Frye keeping secrets: Sammy Jo refuses to tell her family she’s moving even though all her bags are already packed. As if that isn’t enough, Dewey can’t figure out why people keep on asking him to give his sister away and busybody Ozella Meeks has somehow ended up as the wedding coordinator. Will the Fryes be able to get Harlene down the aisle in one piece? A bighearted comedy about family—Southern-style.

Auditions:

  • July 25, 26, and 27 at 6:30 p.m.
  • Wed. Aug. 3 at 7pm
  • Arts Center At Dunham – 1945 Dunham Way, Cincinnati, OH 45238.

Please bring a resume and conflicts from Aug 21 – Oct 29. Headshot is encouraged but not required. Cold readings will be done from the script.

If you cannot make any of these dates, email danhawkins66@gmail.com to arrange an alternate time.

Characters:

  • HARLENE FRYE (30s) The oldest Frye daughter. She’s getting married this weekend. Maybe.
  • ATTICUS “ATTIE” VAN LEER (30s) The Frye family lawyer and an all-around good guy. He’s marrying Harlene this weekend. Maybe.
