The Hendersonville Performing Arts Center (formerly known as The Steeple Players Theatre) will be holding auditions for “A Christmas Carol, the Musical” on Saturday, September 7th from 11:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. and on Sunday, September 8th from 1:00 p.m. until 4:00 p.m. at the First United Methodist Church, located at 217 East Main St. in Hendersonville at the corner of East Main St. and Indian Lake Road.
The show runs from November 29th to December 15th with performances on Thursday (excluding November 28th – Thanksgiving), Friday, Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and on Saturday and Sunday at 2:00 p.m.
Differentiating this version of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol from the hundreds of other adaptations of the same Yuletide classic is its tongue-in-cheek ambience and a bundle of memorable tunes by perennial Disney composer, Alan Menken and former Schoolhouse Rock lyricist Lynn Ahrens. Inspired by a stage musical which used to be presented annually at New York's Madison Square Garden, the show features a tight-fisted Ebenezer Scrooge, who sees the errors of his ways just in time to oversee the best Christmas ever for his long-suffering clerk Bob Cratchett and God Bless Us Everyone Tiny Tim. Highlights include the song Link by Link, wherein the ghostly Marley and a chorus of wraiths perform a lively ball-and-chain dance number, and the outsized Christmas celebration in the home of Scrooge's first boss, Mr. Fezziwig, which features among other things a pole dance by the Ghost of Christmas Past!
We are looking for a cast of 20 plus, including men, women and some children. For complete character descriptions you can visit our website at
