AUDITIONS: ‘A Christmas Carol: Every Man Has the Power to Do Good’
October 13 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Lights Up Productions’ Community Theater is holding auditions for our holiday production of “A Christmas Carol: Every Man Has the Power to Do Good” directed by Jeralyn Shattuck.
**Scrooge returns to the Skowhegan Opera House stage this December! This year a full stage production of this beloved Christmas story will be brought to life with James Hutchinson’s 120-minute interpretation of “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens. This isn’t just Scrooge’s story—it’s a celebration of second chances, community, and the courage to change. In this heartfelt adaptation, old letters and ghostly visitors guide Scrooge through a journey of love, regret, and redemption.**
