Event Description:
Come audition for the first show of our 2016/2017 Season!
'A Christmas Carol' meets 'The Government Inspector' meets 'Noises Off' in this hilarious hit. A man who asks to audition at a small theatre is mistaken for an informer for the National Endowment for the Arts. Everyone caters to the bewildered wannabe actor and he is given a role in the current production, 'A Christmas Carol'. Everything goes wrong and hilarity is piled upon hilarity. Performing just in time for Christmas.
Contains mild profanity.
