Kids for A Christmas Carol

If you have any kids, siblings, cousins or friends who are between the age of 8 and 13, you might want to point them in this direction. Well, not my direction but … sigh. Just read on.

KLpac will be staging A Christmas Carol (yes, with Mr Scrooge, the three spirits, et al), directed by Chris Ling with Joe Hasham as Artistic Director and Faridah Merican as producer, and are auditioning kids this weekend (Saturday, Oct 25). The details are as follows:

–

11am sharp | Studio 2, KLPac

The director is looking for 4 boys and 2 girls aged 8 to 13 years old to play various speaking roles (such as Tiny Tim, Child Scrooge and the Little Cratchits). The audition will be conducted in the form of a 2-hour acting workshop. As such, no prior preparation is necessary. Places are limited to 20 children only.

Registration is on a first-come-first-served basis. Please contact SESHA on 03 4047 9031 or 016-237 4262.

Do take note of the following:

Obviously, I am promoting this because, ahem, I am involved in the show. But more details to come on this blog as the dates come nearer. All I will say is that I’ve not been onstage since I performed in the Fastest Clock In The Universe in 2006.

It’s good to be back in rehearsals.
