The following is the character breakdown for A Christmas Carol.

The casting requirements for A Christmas Carol are extremely broad.  We need men and women of all ages and types and sizes.  Strong singing ability is essential, as well as classical training in Shakespeare is a plus (but not mandatory). Actors should be able to speak with a turn of the century Cockney accent.  All cast members should be able to ‘move well’.  There are two specific dancer roles (male and female). There is also a need for adult male actors who could pass for a fourteen-year-old boy.

If you wish to audition for the Nebraska Theatre Caravan, please send your headshot, resume, and an audition VCR tape or an audition DVD or a .wav file. Your audition should include:

1.      Classical monologue, any style; preferably not tragic.

2.      Contemporary monologue, straight to humorous.

3.      Up-tempo song, shows range and versatility, not acapella.

Selections should be one to two minutes in length. Headshots and resumes are required.

Please send audition materials to:
