King Scrooge is a cold hearted man, refusing to join in the Yule Tide cheer. One night, he is paid a visit by his departed father, who foretells the king's doom if he does not change his ways.
During the night, Scrooge is visited by three ghosts. The Ghost of Yule Tide Past escorts the miser king through his earlier years. The Ghost of Yule Tide Present takes Scrooge through a journey of how the Yule Tide is being celebrated that year without him. The Ghost of Yule Tide Future shows the king how the Yule Tide will be celebrated in years to come. Scrooge must face his past, present, and future and overcome his demons in order to prove that he truly has the Yule Tide in his heart.

What to prepare:
~ You will need to prepare a modern prepared piece less than 3 minutes in length. Please, no Shakespeare.
~ There will be a cold read from the script.
~ For combat roles there will be a simple agility test. Dress comfortable with supportive shoes.
~ Come with questions and/or concerns and we will address them.
Types of Roles:
~ Combat - A Combat role means the character does have fights. Most fights use one or two handed broadswords while some may only use a dagger or be a hand to hand fight. These roles require extra work to learn how to fight safely. We spend a lot of our time teaching our actors the proper safe principles of stage combat. No experience is necessary but the complexity of a fight will depend on ones abilities.
~ Non-Combat - These roles have no fighting involved. These actors are welcome to attend fight practices but are not required.
Stage and Steel Productions is a local Community Theater company that strives to create unique productions combining theatre, stage combat, audience participation and technology...and occasionally a feast. We accept auditionees from all walks of life and any level of experience. Roles are defined as Fighting or Non-Fighting. Actors accepting parts in a Fighting Role will need to learn how to safely use any of the following: a one handed broadsword, two handed broadsword, hand-to-hand combat, staff, dagger, shield, and potentially others. Don't worry, training is provided. When it comes to combat roles, choreography will be designed based on the actors skill. We will never ask an actor to do something that they do not feel comfortable doing or is unsafe. That being said, if a role requires a lot of combat or specific combat or weapon use then an actors skill level will be taken in account at auditions for the fairness to the actor and the safety of all.
