The Soapbox Playhouse needs all the help it can get putting on its annual production of A Christmas Carol. They have lost half their season subscribers, their NEA funding has been denied pending an inspection, and they only have four days to rehearse before opening night. Scrooge wants to rewrite the script to have social relevance while Walter, who is new, just wants to learn his lines. Karen, the business manager, can’t run the computer and turns to Tiny Tim, who is not so tiny, for help. Cratchit has a bad back, Mrs. Cratchit has an injured foot, and director Zorah Bloch just wants to save her theatre. Enter wannabee actor Wayne Wellacre on a journey to find “his bliss,” and chaos ensues. This adult-themed Christmas play will have you rolling in the aisle as everything that can go wrong does go wrong.

The Village Players of Fort Thomas – please use the street level entrance
8 N Ft. Thomas Ave
Fort Thomas, KY 41075
ABOUT THE SHOW
The best laid plans go awry when the cast and crew of a Broadway-bound play resort to manipulation, diva-like behavior, and chaotic abandon to get what they want. Fledgling playwright Jerry Przpezniak and his fiancée are a couple of Buffalo greenhorns suddenly swept up in the whirlwind of New York’s theater scene when Jerry’s play is optioned for the big money, ego-driven world of Broadway. It’s a young playwright’s dream, but the crazy characters and dilemmas they encounter are the things theatrical nightmares are made of.
CAST REQUIREMENTS:
No roles have been pre-cast.
Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. Resumes and head shots are appreciated but not required. Please bring known conflicts for the period between January 22nd and April 29th. Rehearsals will be determined by the availability of those who are cast.
