John Dale hasn’t enjoyed a “real Christmas” for years. So, on the spur of the moment, he decided to “rent” a Christmas from Anne Weston, who owns the local rent shop. John requires a Christmas tree with presents, Christmas carols, and a wife and five children! Join us to celebrate this unusual Christmas!

All ethnicities are encouraged to audition.
Rehearsals will begin the week of 10/13 and will be 3 days/week based on cast availability. The carolers will have 3-4 rehearsals plus be called for tech week.
The cast will also be participating in the Evansville Christmas parade on Sunday, November 23rd.
Please bring a list of all conflicts during the rehearsal period to the auditions.
This production should not conflict with S2’s THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW or FOOLS.
