We had a great turnout for auditions yesterday. Today’s the final day to audition- come see us at 7!
Auditions for The Charitable Sisterhood Christmas Spectacular will be held October 4 & 5, from 7-9 p.m. at the High Springs Playhouse. This feel good comedic play incorporates a play within a play and explores the true meaning of Christmas.
Character Descriptions - All characters will need to have great comedic timing. Some characters need a more dry type of comedic delivery. Tina, Lorraine, and Bea will be required to sing Christmas Carols - they don't have to be great singers, just able to carry a tune and sing with others.
Tina Yates - Female 40's - Successful nurse - Warm, practical, cares about people, but doesn't tend to pause & consider whether she ought to be less frank; a blurter. Originally from Baltimore, considered a "Yankee". Must be comfortable singing Christmas Carols on stage.
Lorraine Jensen - Female 40's - Lived in Pennington Gap, Virginia, all her life. Gently sarcastic and always good humored. Is the mother to 9 kids. Must be comfortable singing Christmas Carols on stage.
Bea Littleton - Female Late 40's - Early 50's- The wife of Pastor Hiram Littleton and happy to let you know it. He might be the Pastor, but it's her church. Must be comfortable singing Christmas Carols on stage.
Janet Murchison - Female 30's - A New Jersey native who recently opened her own private investigation agency. Quick with a wisecrack and even quicker with ideas. Bea trusts her even though she dislikes doing so. Honorary member of the Sisterhood.
Lucille Orton - Female 50's - Widow of the late Reverend Joseph Orton of First Salvation Church. Bea's blood rival. In appearance, puritanical and scary. In tone, sweetly menacing.
