AUDITION CALL! Young Company Productions is working jointly with the Annapolis District Drama Group to create a production of Charles Dickens' classic Christmas... story: "A Christmas Carol" as a stage-to-screen event. There are several parts for children in the production, for between the ages of 6-13. Auditions for the young teen and child roles will be held on Saturday 3rd October 4pm to 5pm - if fine, at Tupperville School Museum (Civic # 2695 on Hwy 201). If raining, then indoors at King's Theatre (same time) - if unsure on the day, please text 902-526-0460 The rehearsals and filming of the screen-play will be done on location - much of it at the School Museum. Each rehearsal will only cover those scenes of the play set at that location. Rehearsal times will vary according to the location of the scene and cannot at this stage be definitely predicted or guaranteed - but we will have rehearsals late afternoon/early evening and/or weekend daytime/evening. Some scenes/actors will require several rehearsals, and some may be achieved in just one or two. The completed 'movie' is scheduled to be shown on the Big Screen at King's Theatre the weekend before Christmas Many of the scenes are short, and since there are a limited number of roles for the children, it is not possible to guarantee that every child will be cast for a role. Not all roles are speaking roles (they would be scene 'extras') The screen-play may, in due course, be hosted on the Drama Group Youtube channel, so parents must give permission for this at the outset. P..S. we want to reassure everyone that we will be doing everything we can to ensure your safety in the age of Covid-19 and please help us out by bringing your own mask for the safety of others, thanks!
