Auditions for A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
We are pleased to announce auditions for our fourth and final production of the year, A Christmas Carol written by Charles Dickens, adapted for the stage by Brian Kurtas & Bill van Horn.
This beloved British classic follows the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, a miserly and cold-hearted man who despises Christmas. On Christmas Eve, Scrooge is visited by the spirits of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come, who reveal to him the impact of his actions and the fate that awaits if he does not change. Through these supernatural encounters, Scrooge undergoes a profound transformation, embracing generosity and compassion, and ultimately learns the true meaning of Christmas.

The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged), directed by Martha Reece!
Histories! Tragedies! Comedies!
Join us as we race through all 37 of Shakespeare’s plays in one fast-paced, chaotic, and highly entertaining performance. Quick changes, bold physical comedy, and plenty of unexpected twists are all part of the ride.
Whether you’re a preeminent Shakespearean scholar or you’ve never heard of The Bard, this is the show for you! It’s high-energy, imaginative, and doesn’t take itself too seriously.
Not strictly 16+, but… maybe don’t bring under-16s unless you’re ready to answer a few tricky questions on the way home…
At Kulturhaus Frankfurt on May 29, 30, 31 and June 12, 13, 14!
