Story Synopsis:

This The Trial of the Century! A year after his miraculous transformation, Ebenezer Scrooge is back to his old ways and is suing Jacob Marley and the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future for breaking and entering, kidnapping, slander, pain and suffering, attempted murder and the intentional infliction of emotional distress. The ghosts employ Solomon Rothschild, England's most charismatic, savvy, and clever barrister. Scrooge, that old penny pincher, represents himself. One by one, Bob Cratchit, Scrooge's nephew Fred, solicitor and philanthropist Sara Anne Wainwright, and the ghosts themselves take the witness stand to give their account of the night in question.

Additional Info: 

We will be reading selections from the script. If you can do an English, Cockney, Jewish or Irish accent it would be appreciated; but, if you’re willing to work on it, not required for the auditions. If you have a recent “head shot” that we can keep, please bring it with you.


Rehearsals will generally be held Mondays thru Thursdays from 7:00 to 10:00 p.m.  

We make it a practice to start and end on time.  We don't want to waste your time, and we ask that you reciprocate.
