The Clinton Area Showboat Theatre will be holding local auditions for their community holiday production. Auditions will be held on Saturday, November 7 from 6-8pm and on Sunday, November 8 from 1-3pm at Mullany Theatre on the Ashford University Campus.
This year's show is Adam's Gifts by Peter Filichia and directed by Kris Doss. Loosely based on Charles Dicken's A Christmas Carol, the story follows William Pront, a greedy landlord who has cut corners on his tenants for years. His employee, Jason Romano just wants to make a living and to finish writing his book. Pront's greediness leads to Jason quitting, a stranger appearing, and Pront reliving life through his younger self. William learns a lot about himself, but most importantly is finally taught to read from the most unlikely of people. Adam's Gifts is a story of redemption and the heartmelting surprise of feeling needed.
Roles are available for males and females, middle school to adult. Auditions are dropin and no preparations are necessary. Cold readings will be provided. Anyone interested in helping with technical, backstage work should attend one of the audition dates. Rehearsals will likely be scheduled Monday through Fridays from 6pm-9pm.
Performances are scheduled for December 11-13 and 18-20. Shows will be at 7:30pm on Fridays and Saturdays, and 3pm on Sundays.
