Dickens’s A Christmas Carol: Auditions for Students
Oct 5 @ 2:30 pm – 4:00 pm
Hazel Robinson Amphitheatre

 

 

 

 

MPP’s Education Division brings you TWO chances for the kids to NOT miss summer!

The Montford Moppets, Asheville’s ONLY Shakespeare Summer Camp is prepping for their first official NON-summer productions.

The great play Hamlet, by William Shakespeare is already in production and heading for a late October debut!

And, for the second-year in a row, Dickens’s A Christmas Carol will be a Moppet affair.

Auditions for the latter are being held at the Hazel Robinson Amphitheatre this coming Saturday, October 5th, from 2:30-4pm. And rumor has it that tweens and teens will be the bulk of the cast, but they are looking for an adult Scrooge! So we hope everyone will come out for that.

With the school year in full swing, we highly recommend you get the kids involved with this great program that will challenge them, give them a sense of accomplishment and provide some great fun and friends, like only theater can.
