Auditions for FACT production of "The Trial of Ebenezer Scrooge"

Auditions for FACT production of "The Trial of Ebenezer Scrooge" will be held in the Fairfield High School auditorium on August 23rd at 3 pm and August 24th at 7 pm. There are 15 roles available and so I encourage all adults 18-70+ to audition.

This is a fun courtroom comedy and will be performed for two weekends at Magnolia Sanctuary. Opening November 6th, 7th, 8th, 13th, 14th, and closing on the 15th. (4 evenings and 2 matinees)

This is a great way to begin the Holiday Season!

Coincidentally, opening on November 13th Johnny Depp stars as Ebenezer Scrooge in "Ebenezer", a dark fantasy reimagining of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol directed by Ti West.

Ebenezer Scrooge: Johnny Depp

Jacob Marley: Ian McKellen

Bob Cratchit: Rupert Grint

But I hope you will come to see FACT's performance first!
