A Christmas Carol goes beyond other adaptations with a unique dramatic concept: At the opening curtain, Charles Dickens himself is introduced to the audience, ready to present one of the famed platform readings of his stories that packed auditoriums in Europe and America.

Of course, the story chosen is one which he often performed, A Christmas Carol (Dickens' marked-up script still exists!). The story unfolds behind him, and soon Dickens is weaving in and out of the action, observing, performing small roles, interpolating short passages of rich narrative never heard in other versions. He handles props and helps Scrooge and others with costume changes.

Auditions are now open for "The Producers." This musical is a gut-busting comedy that's sure to be a riot for both the cast and audience. It's a great way to overcome those gray winter days and February blues. 

Auditions will be held at the Science Auditorium at ECTC at 6pm.  While all are welcome to come to audition we are restricting the leads to being 18 years of age or older due to some of the content.

Please see our "Auditions," page for more information!
