AUDITION: A Christmas Carol

SUNDAY FROM 11:00-15:00

A Christmas Carol Auditions – BOOKINGS ESSENTIAL!

Duration: 4 hr
Harbour Theatre is delighted to stage the Australian premiere of a new adaptation of one of Charles Dickens’ best-loved classics for our Christmas production.
The season commences November 25 with 11 performances (including three Sunday matinees), plus a proposed charity night. Rehearsals will commence in late August and will be held on Saturday afternoons, as well as Monday and Thursday evenings.
Because of the large cast list, some of the character roles will need to be doubled up. Therefore, actors may be required to play different characters in different scenes.
This is a lovely play in true Dickensian style.
For further information, and to book an audition on June 26,
11am – 3pm
Venue – Alf Adams Pavilion
Solomon St, Mosman Park WA 6012
