Audition for STA's Virtual production of...
What would happen if Charles Dickens and Dr. Seuss collaborated on a play? A Seussified Christmas Carol, of course! A whimsical reinvention of Dickens’ most beloved Christmas story in wacky rhymed couplets. With zoot fruited juices and binka bird geese, from Bed-Headed Fred to Timmy Loo Hoo, this tale of glorious holiday cheer is like something Dr. Seuss might have come up with — if he ever had his way with the story.

ATTENDANCE POLICY
Being cast in a production, even a virtual one, is a big commitment.
Please look at family and school schedules closely before auditioning to ensure that your child can attend all rehearsals and performances.
Casting decisions are made with each performer availability in mind; it may not be possible to offer a role to a performer with excessive conflicts or conflicts that occur in the weeks leading up to performance.
Attendance at rehearsals is crucial to the success of the entire production.
STA's attendance policy allows a maximum of two rehearsal absences during the rehearsal period.
No conflicts are permitted during tech rehearsals or performances.
Conflicts not stated during the audition process or excessive absences/tardiness may result in casting changes or not being able to participate in all scenes.
