CASTING FOR “A CHRISTMAS CAROL” AT THE OPEN EYE


Actors of all ages - male and female - are needed for a new adaptation of the popular Charles Dickens story "A Christmas Carol" at The Open Eye Theater.  Tania Myren has adapted the holiday favorite, and will direct the show.  Characters include Marley, Bob Cratchit, Mrs. Cratchit, Fredericka, Belle, Martha, Spirits Past, Present and Future, Tiny Tim (or Tina), and of course, Ebenezer Scrooge, among others.  There are townspeople (adult and children) and corolers who appear throughout.

Also needed are volunteers for the stage management and costume teams.
