Searching for TRIPLE THREATS!! Casting the 2022 annual Holiday Spectacular! at Old Town Hall
in Brewster, NY. This is a unique opportunity to be a part of the first major production in this
venue in over 30 years!
Act One is a telling of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol and Act Two is a Holiday Musical
Revue consisting of holiday classics such as: Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, No Place
like Home for the Holidays, Santa Baby, The 12 Days of Christmas, White Christmas and I’ll be
home for Christmas. Along with some “not so traditional” holiday songs like: Frosty vs Santa (a
westside story rumble), The Chanukah song, Heat Miser/Snow Miser tap and the Brewster
Water Glass orchestra performing Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy with no instruments other
than dinner spoons and finely tuned glasses of water.
The Christmas Carol has been trimmed down from 16 actors to 9. Performing in this show will
be extremely challenging, and it will take months of hard work to pull off; but we’re going to
have a helluva good time in the process.
