Fantasy Playhouse Children’s Theater & Academy presents A Christmas Carol. Directed by Claire Christian, original compositions by Stacy Morris, Music Directed by Tanner Christian, Assistant Directed/Choreographed by Jessica Bradley Alexander, Produced by Joanna White, and Tech Directed by Dan Wilkerson. A Christmas Carol is adapted by Cherie Evans and is based on the works of Charles Dickens.

Huntsville’s most beloved family holiday tradition returns to the Fantasy Playhouse stage for the 35th year this December! Take a trip in time through the past, present, and future with the miserly Mr. Scrooge, the haunting Christmas Spirits, and all the whimsical characters of London town. This fresh adaptation returns by popular demand, penned by Huntsville local and Fantasy Kid herself, Cherie Evans. With more theater magic than ever before, this annual Charles Dickens holiday tale is an inspiration to keep Christmas in our hearts all year long.

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR:

The creative team is seeking a dynamic ensemble of approximately 45 performers for the annual, beloved production of A Christmas Carol! In this adaptation by Cherie Evans, the story of Ebenezer Scrooge comes to life with authentic dialogue and beautiful music.

We seek performers who move well, sing with confidence, and are excited to create holiday magic together in a playful and collaborative environment.

If you can carry a tune, move with energy, and love performing as part of a team, we want to see you!

Prepare to sing “Deck the Hall” at the audition. You can hear it here. Sides will be provided. Please be prepared to participate in a movement/dance exercise. We recommend wearing clothes that you are comfortable moving in and closed-toed shoes for safety.
